(original) (raw)

We also had quad registers defined in function of 4 single registers, then we couldn't extract paired register from it easily.

So we changed and made them defined in function of paired registers. We also named the sub indices as to know what size of sub-register we want. Is something alike this:

// Defining sub-register indexes

def sub\_p0 : SubRegIndex<128, 0>;

def sub\_p1 : SubRegIndex<128,128>;

def sub\_s0 : SubRegIndex<64, 0>;

def sub\_s1 : SubRegIndex<64, 64>;

def sub\_s2 : ComposedSubRegIndex;

def sub\_s3 : ComposedSubRegIndex;

// Composed register classes

// Paired Registers

class PGR subregs>

: : RegisterWithSubRegs {

let SubRegIndices = \[sub\_s0, sub\_s1\];

}

// Quad Register

class QGR subregs>

: RegisterWithSubRegs {

let SubRegIndices = \[sub\_p0, sub\_p1\];

}

// Defining registers

def P0 : PGR< 0, "$r0r1", \[ R0, R1\]>;

def P2 : PGR< 2, "$r2r3", \[ R2, R3\]>;

....

def Q0 : QGR< 0, "$r0r1r2r3", \[ P0, P2\]>;

Now can use any of those 6 sub-index to reference 2 sub-pair registers or any of the 4 single registers.

Hi,

You can (I'm hesitant to say you "must") model this with extra "fake"
(in some sense) physical registers which represent the paired and
quadrupled registers. This will also tell the register allocator that
allocating VRPair0 will clobber both VR0 \*and VR1\*, for example.

So you have half the number of VRPair registers which each have two VRs
as subregisters, then half that again of VRQuad registers which have
two VRPairs as subregisters. The subregister properties will apply
transitively so your VRQuads will have four VR subregisters using
composed subregister indices which LLVM will either automatically infer
or you can specify yourself with ComposedSubRegIndex.

Take a look at RISCVRegisterInfo.td for inspriation. Each vector V
register is paired into VM2 which are in turn paried into VM4s and then
into VM8s.

Cheers,
Fraser
