There's nothing particular novel here, every backend without a conditional move has something similar to the custom inserter for SELECT_CC. Some backends try to use a mix of tablegen patterns and C++ code, for instance to deal with the condition code. I feel it's simpler when just handled in RISCVTargetLowering.
Although ISD::SELECT_CC is a more natural match for RISCVISD::SELECT_CC (and
ultimately the integer RISC-V conditional branch instructions), we choose to
expand ISD::SELECT_CC and lower ISD::SELECT. The appropriate compare+branch
will be created in the case where an ISD::SELECT condition value is created by
an ISD::SETCC node, which operates on XLen types. Other datatypes such as
floating point don't have conditional branch instructions, and lowering
ISD::SELECT allows more flexibility for handling these cases.
Period at the end of comment.
