Summary

This is in response to recent emails about extending the numbers of available lanes. While that problem went away, this is a more generic approach than what we have at the moment.
I haven't tested it beyond "check-llvm". I'm wondering what you think.

This part is not complete.

  • I would be slightly hesitant here, as it complicates code and none of the public targets needs this. We don't even try the "uint64_t" instead of "unsigned" step but instead just make it all complicated right away...
  • I would not commit this without careful measurements to ensure that compilers indeed optimize all of this away and we don't have a compiletime impact.
  • You probably can use some of the APInt::tcXXX functions to avoid code duplication.

Yeah, there is no need for it right now. I was just curious about this kind of approach.

I can keep this as a patch here in case this issue comes back later.

Can we go ahead and add getHighestLane to the existing class to hide the Log2_32? Maybe getNumLanes as well.

Done in r308655 and r308658.

I m working on huge hardware and I need this patch to work. When I tested this for N=128 I am getting error like "Must be a leaf subregister".

I think this leaves all the other entries in T as garbage. This could explain the error hameeza is getting.

Try changing this to

Type T = {};

Good catch.

Btw, feel free to reinstate yourself as a reviewer if you feel so inclined...
