2 To-do

5 * Keep the address of the constant pool in a register instead of forming its
6 address all of the time.
7 * We can fold small constant offsets into the %hi/%lo references to constant
8 pool addresses as well.
9 * When in V9 mode, register allocate %icc[0-3].
10 * Add support for isel'ing UMUL_LOHI instead of marking it as Expand.
11 * Emit the 'Branch on Integer Register with Prediction' instructions. It's
12 not clear how to write a pattern for this though:
13
14 float %t1(int %a, int* %p) {
15 %C = seteq int %a, 0
16 br bool %C, label %T, label %F
17 T:
18 store int 123, int* %p
19 br label %F
20 F:
21 ret float undef
22 }
23
24 codegens to this:
25
26 t1:
27 save -96, %o6, %o6
28 1) subcc %i0, 0, %l0
29 1) bne .LBBt1_2 ! F
30 nop
31 .LBBt1_1: ! T
32 or %g0, 123, %l0
33 st %l0, [%i1]
34 .LBBt1_2: ! F
35 restore %g0, %g0, %g0
36 retl
37 nop
38
39 1) should be replaced with a brz in V9 mode.
40
41 * Same as above, but emit conditional move on register zero (p192) in V9
42 mode. Testcase:
43
44 int %t1(int %a, int %b) {
45 %C = seteq int %a, 0
46 %D = select bool %C, int %a, int %b
47 ret int %D
48 }
49
50 * Emit MULX/[SU]DIVX instructions in V9 mode instead of fiddling
51 with the Y register, if they are faster.
52
53 * Codegen bswap(load)/store(bswap) -> load/store ASI
54
55 * Implement frame pointer elimination, e.g. eliminate save/restore for
56 leaf fns.
57 * Fill delay slots
58
59 * Use %g0 directly to materialize 0. No instruction is required.
