Summary

The problem and testcase is described in https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26374.

The cause of the problem is:
LiveRangeEdit::eliminateDeadDef is used to remove dead define instructions after rematerialization. To remove a VNI for a vreg from its LiveInterval, LiveIntervals::removeVRegDefAt is used. However, after non-PHI VNIs are all removed, PHI VNI are still left in the LiveInterval. Such unused vregs will be kept in RegsToSpill[] at the end of InlineSpiller::reMaterializeAll and spiller will allocate stackslot for them.

The fix is to get rid of unused reg by checking whether it has non-dbg reference instead of whether it has non-empty interval.

For the 1.c testcase in PR26374, the stack allocated for function GetSkipCostMB dropped from 408 to 344.

Hi Wei,

LGTM with a few nitpicks:

  1. Add a comment explaining what the test case is testing at the beginning of the file.
  2. Change the name of the test case to something relevant, i.e., pr26374.ll is a bad name!

Cheers,
-Quentin

Could you add the description of the related PR, so that we do not have to look at the web page when we want to know what this is about.
