+Think about doing i64 math in SSE regs on x86-32.

-For this:
-
-#include <emmintrin.h>
-void test(__m128d *r, __m128d *A, double B) {
- *r = _mm_loadl_pd(*A, &B);
-}
-
-We generates:
-
- subl $12, %esp
- movsd 24(%esp), %xmm0
- movsd %xmm0, (%esp)
- movl 20(%esp), %eax
- movapd (%eax), %xmm0
- movlpd (%esp), %xmm0
- movl 16(%esp), %eax
- movapd %xmm0, (%eax)
- addl $12, %esp
- ret
-
-icc generates:
-
- movl 4(%esp), %edx #3.6
- movl 8(%esp), %eax #3.6
- movapd (%eax), %xmm0 #4.22
- movlpd 12(%esp), %xmm0 #4.8
- movapd %xmm0, (%edx) #4.3
- ret #5.1
-
-So icc is smart enough to know that B is in memory so it doesn't load it and
-store it back to stack.
-
-This should be fixed by eliminating the llvm.x86.sse2.loadl.pd intrinsic,
-lowering it to a load+insertelement instead. Already match the load+shuffle
-as movlpd, so this should be easy. We already get optimal code for:
-
-define void @test2(<2 x double>* %r, <2 x double>* %A, double %B) {
-entry:
- %tmp2 = load <2 x double>* %A, align 16
- %tmp8 = insertelement <2 x double> %tmp2, double %B, i32 0
- store <2 x double> %tmp8, <2 x double>* %r, align 16
- ret void

-
__m128d test1( __m128d A, __m128d B) {
return _mm_shuffle_pd(A, B, 0x3);
}
With SSE4, it should be
movdqa .LC0(%rip), %xmm0
pinsrb $6, %edi, %xmm0
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+We should transform a shuffle of two vectors of constants into a single vector
+of constants. Also, insertelement of a constant into a vector of constants
+should also result in a vector of constants. e.g. 2008-06-25-VecISelBug.ll.
+
+We compiled it to something horrible:
+
+ .align 4
+LCPI1_1: ## float
+ .long 1065353216 ## float 1
+ .const
+
+ .align 4
+LCPI1_0: ## <4 x float>
+ .space 4
+ .long 1065353216 ## float 1
+ .space 4
+ .long 1065353216 ## float 1
+ .text
+ .align 4,0x90
+ .globl _t
+_t:
+ xorps %xmm0, %xmm0
+ movhps LCPI1_0, %xmm0
+ movss LCPI1_1, %xmm1
+ movaps %xmm0, %xmm2
+ shufps $2, %xmm1, %xmm2
+ shufps $132, %xmm2, %xmm0
+ movaps %xmm0, 0

+This function:

+float foo(unsigned char x) {

+}
+
+compiles to (x86-32):
+
+define float @foo(i8 zeroext %x) nounwind {
+ %tmp12 = uitofp i8 %x to float ; <float> [#uses=1]
+ ret float %tmp12
+}
+

+ subl $4, %esp
+ movzbl 8(%esp), %eax
+ cvtsi2ss %eax, %xmm0
+ movss %xmm0, (%esp)
+ flds (%esp)
+ addl $4, %esp
+ ret
+
+We should be able to use:
+ cvtsi2ss 8($esp), %xmm0
+since we know the stack slot is already zext'd.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+Consider using movlps instead of movsd to implement (scalar_to_vector (loadf64))
+when code size is critical. movlps is slower than movsd on core2 but it's one
+byte shorter.
+
+//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//
+
+We should use a dynamic programming based approach to tell when using FPStack
+operations is cheaper than SSE. SciMark montecarlo contains code like this
+for example:
+
+double MonteCarlo_num_flops(int Num_samples) {
+ return ((double) Num_samples)* 4.0;
+}
+
+In fpstack mode, this compiles into:
+
+LCPI1_0:
+ .long 1082130432 ## float 4.000000e+00
+_MonteCarlo_num_flops:
+ subl $4, %esp
+ movl 8(%esp), %eax
+ movl %eax, (%esp)
+ fildl (%esp)
+ fmuls LCPI1_0
+ addl $4, %esp
+ ret
+
+in SSE mode, it compiles into significantly slower code:
+
+_MonteCarlo_num_flops:
+ subl $12, %esp
+ cvtsi2sd 16(%esp), %xmm0
+ mulsd LCPI1_0, %xmm0
+ movsd %xmm0, (%esp)
+ fldl (%esp)
+ addl $12, %esp
+ ret
+
+There are also other cases in scimark where using fpstack is better, it is
+cheaper to do fld1 than load from a constant pool for example, so
+"load, add 1.0, store" is better done in the fp stack, etc.
