In some cases, we can rename a store operand, in order to enable pairing
of stores. For store pairs, that cannot be merged because the first
tored register is defined in between the second store, we try to find
suitable rename register.
First, we check if we can rename the given register:
- The first store register must be killed at the store, which means we do not have to rename instructions after the first store.
- We scan backwards from the first store, to find the definition of the stored register and check all uses in between are renamable. Along they way, we collect the minimal register classes of the uses for overlapping (sub/super)registers.
Second, we try to find an available register from the minimal physical
register class of the original register. A suitable register must not be
- defined before FirstMI
- between the previous definition of the register to rename
- a callee saved register.
We use KILL flags to clear defined registers while scanning from the
beginning to the end of the block.
