TableGen/GlobalISel: Allow output instructions with multiple defs
ClosedPublic

Authored by arsenm on Jul 13 2020, 12:00 PM.

Details

Summary

The DAG behavior allows matchching input patterns with a single result
to the first result of an output instruction that defines multiple
results. The remaining defs are implicitly dead.

This starts to fix using manual selection for AMDGPU add/sub (although
it's still needed, mostly because it's also still needed for
G_PTR_ADD).

This message is misleading with this change

Fix error message. I'll probably be removing this check soon, since I have cases that check use_empty on the results and discard the source result

You many want to check with -optimize-match-table=true and false too.

"results after the first is" is bad English. How about "any result after the first is" ?

I was thinking about this for the other change. If DstI's NumDefs are less than what source pattern is defining then we can ignore the defs from source pattern. So, this error message shouldn't be there and may be we can emit a warning or something. OTOH, if it's opposite, i.e. source pattern is defining a fewer values then dstI's some value will be undefined. In any case, there need not be an error because both of these are valid some or the other backend. I am not sure what we should be doing ideally from matching perspective but both cases can occur.

Are we going to need more variations on RegState in the future?

If so, maybe it'd be better to do something like the pseudocode below?

RegState = nothing
if (IsDef) {
   RegState = "RegState::Define";
   if (IsDead)
      RegState += "|RegState::Dead";
}

if (RegState != nothing)
  Table << MatchTable::NamedValue(RegState);
else
   Table << MatchTable::IntValue(0);

Could you get rid of the if in the loop by doing something like this?

unsigned NumDefs = DstI->Operands.NumDefs;
if (!NumDefs)
  return InsertPt;

const CodeGenInstruction *DstI = DstMIBuilder.getCGI();
DstMIBuilder.addRenderer<CopyRenderer>(DstI->Operands[0].Name);

for (unsigned I = 1; I < NumDefs; ++I) {
  const TypeSetByHwMode &ExtTy = Dst->getExtType(I);
  ...
}

return InsertPt;

I don't think so. I think implicit is the only other one that might make sense, but I don't think there's any contexts where the selector would need implicit virtual registers

4850–4851

I think a warning would be counterproductive. TableGen doesn't really emit warnings. We could maybe invent some new construct to indicate explicitly discarded results, but I'm not sure what it would look like

We're not really optimizing this and adding a second set of checks increases the maintenance cost of the test
