Field Documentation
| rtx reg_stat_struct::last_death |
Record last point of death of (hard or pseudo) register n.
| rtx reg_stat_struct::last_set |
Record last point of modification of (hard or pseudo) register n.
| int reg_stat_struct::last_set_label |
Record the value of label_tick when the value for register n is placed in
last_set_value.
These fields are maintained in parallel with last_set_value and are
used to store the mode in which the register was last set, the bits
that were known to be zero when it was last set, and the number of
sign bits copies it was known to have when it was last set.
| char reg_stat_struct::last_set_sign_bit_copies |
| int reg_stat_struct::last_set_table_tick |
Record the value of label_tick when an expression involving register n
is placed in last_set_value.
| rtx reg_stat_struct::last_set_value |
The next group of fields allows the recording of the last value assigned
to (hard or pseudo) register n. We use this information to see if an
operation being processed is redundant given a prior operation performed
on the register. For example, an `and' with a constant is redundant if
all the zero bits are already known to be turned off.
We use an approach similar to that used by cse, but change it in the
following ways:
(1) We do not want to reinitialize at each label.
(2) It is useful, but not critical, to know the actual value assigned
to a register. Often just its form is helpful.
Therefore, we maintain the following fields:
last_set_value the last value assigned
last_set_label records the value of label_tick when the
register was assigned
last_set_table_tick records the value of label_tick when a
value using the register is assigned
last_set_invalid set to nonzero when it is not valid
to use the value of this register in some
register's value
To understand the usage of these tables, it is important to understand
the distinction between the value in last_set_value being valid and
the register being validly contained in some other expression in the
table.
(The next two parameters are out of date).
reg_stat[i].last_set_value is valid if it is nonzero, and either
reg_n_sets[i] is 1 or reg_stat[i].last_set_label == label_tick.
Register I may validly appear in any expression returned for the value
of another register if reg_n_sets[i] is 1. It may also appear in the
value for register J if reg_stat[j].last_set_invalid is zero, or
reg_stat[i].last_set_label < reg_stat[j].last_set_label.
If an expression is found in the table containing a register which may
not validly appear in an expression, the register is replaced by
something that won't match, (clobber (const_int 0)). Record last value assigned to (hard or pseudo) register n.
