Adds PUSHes to the folding tables.
This also required a fix to the TD definition, since the memory forms of the PUSH/POP instructions did not have the right mayLoad/mayStore flags.

Please can you test x86_64 as well - 32-bit pushes on 64-bit targets are rather awkward.....
You've updated the pop definitions as well - is your plan to fix these in a separate patch? In which case maybe not alter them here?
Unfortunately, aside from 32-bit pushes on 32-bit platforms, I'm not aware of anything that actually generates memory-form pushes at the moment. But if at any point we start doing that, I think having folding from the start would be a good thing. If you can suggest scenarios where that's generated, I'll happily add a test.
Regarding pops - I wasn't originally planning on touching them, but it seems like the current definition is obviously wrong (a POP64rmm may store...), and I'd rather not leave bugs to lurk. :-)
I can fix it in a separate patch, but, as above - I'm not sure how to test that, since we don't actually generate them.

3 | Please check the feature flag directly rather than a CPU: -mattr=call-reg-indirect? Also, can this be loosened to -mtriple=i686-unknown-unknown? There's nothing Windows-specific here? |

3 | I'll change the feature flag, thanks. And I'd prefer to leave windows, because the test is somewhat sensitive to the way the stack frame gets constructed. E.g. i686-pc-linux will not work. Given that, I'd rather not rely on unknown-unknown. |

4888–4891 | Spacing looks off here. Hoist Opcode into a local if 80-col is a problem? | |

1080–1082 | As suggested earlier, please put the pop changes into their own commit with a checkin comment that explains the change and why there is no test (unless Simon or someone else knows how to test this). | |
test/CodeGen/X86/fold-push.ll | ||
3 | Ok. Seems like 'call-reg-indirect' could use a more general name since it's being used with more than just calls now. But that can be a separate change. Add a TODO comment in the td file? |
Thanks, Simon, Sanjay.
I've removed the POP part, will commit that separately.
Regarding renaming the feature - will we still need an alias for the old name?
Thanks Michael, this looks ready to go. Can you confirm what testing you've done with larger codebases that have a better chance of causing PUSH to be generated?
My understanding is that we make no compatibility guarantees for developer tool command-line options, so unless this is exposed in clang, we're free to change it.
That said, I don't see that policy officially documented, so we should probably confirm with someone else. :)
Thanks!
Simon, I've done testing with spec cpu2k, did not have any issues.
Sanjay, I've confirmed it with Chandler. Will do the name-change in a separate patch.
