Subject: Constrain register classes instead of emitting copies.
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=08f5cdf5b33b8202edddb24abee6af2a0b3ae49c;p=oota-llvm.git

Constrain register classes instead of emitting copies.

Sometimes register class constraints are trivial, like GR32->GR32_NOSP,
or GPR->rGPR.  Teach InstrEmitter to simply constrain the virtual
register instead of emitting a copy in these cases.

Normally, these copies are handled by the coalescer.  This saves some
coalescer work.
