24 /// \brief Expand an atomic RMW instruction into a loop utilizing
25 /// cmpxchg. You'll want to make sure your target machine likes cmpxchg
26 /// instructions in the first place and that there isn't another, better,
27 /// transformation available (for example AArch32/AArch64 have linked loads).
29 /// This is useful in passes which can't rewrite the more exotic RMW
30 /// instructions directly into a platform specific intrinsics (because, say,
31 /// those intrinsics don't exist). If such a pass is able to expand cmpxchg
32 /// instructions directly however, then, with this function, it could avoid two
33 /// extra module passes (avoiding passes by `-atomic-expand` and itself). A
34 /// specific example would be PNaCl's `RewriteAtomics` pass.
36 /// Given: atomicrmw some_op iN* %addr, iN %incr ordering
38 /// The standard expansion we produce is:
40 /// %init_loaded = load atomic iN* %addr
43 /// %loaded = phi iN [ %init_loaded, %entry ], [ %new_loaded, %loop ]
44 /// %new = some_op iN %loaded, %incr
45 /// ; This is what -atomic-expand will produce using this function on i686 targets:
46 /// %pair = cmpxchg iN* %addr, iN %loaded, iN %new_val
47 /// %new_loaded = extractvalue { iN, i1 } %pair, 0
48 /// %success = extractvalue { iN, i1 } %pair, 1
49 /// ; End callback produced IR
50 /// br i1 %success, label %atomicrmw.end, label %loop
54 /// Returns true if the containing function was modified.
