Function Documentation

static void add_pseudo_to_slot ( )
static

Add pseudo REGNO to slot SLOT_NUM.

It is the first pseudo in the slot.

References slot::hard_regno, slot::live_ranges, lra_intersected_live_ranges_p(), lra_reg_info, slot::mem, NULL, NULL_RTX, slot::regno, and slots_num.

static bool alter_subregs ( )
static

Apply alter_subreg for subregs of regs in *LOC. Use FINAL_P for alter_subreg calls. Return true if any subreg of reg is processed.

static void assign_mem_slot ( )
static

Set up memory of the spilled pseudo I. The function can allocate the corresponding stack slot if it is not done yet.

 We can use a slot already allocated because it is guaranteed the
 slot provides both enough inherent space and enough total
 space.   
 Each pseudo has an inherent size which comes from its own mode,
 and a total size which provides room for paradoxical subregs
 which refer to the pseudo reg in wider modes.  We allocate a new
 slot, making sure that it has enough inherent space and total
 space.   
     No known place to spill from => no slot to reuse.   
     Cancel the big-endian correction done in assign_stack_local.
     Get the address of the beginning of the slot.  This is so we
     can do a big-endian correction unconditionally below.   
 On a big endian machine, the "address" of the slot is the address
 of the low part that fits its inherent mode.   
 Set all of the memory attributes as appropriate for a spill.   

References adjust_address_nv, assign_stack_local(), GET_MODE, lra_eliminate_regs_1(), slot::mem, mode_for_size(), and pseudo_slot::slot_num.

static int assign_spill_hard_regs ( )
static

Assign spill hard registers to N pseudos in PSEUDO_REGNOS which is sorted in order of highest frequency first. Put the pseudos which did not get a spill hard register at the beginning of array PSEUDO_REGNOS. Return the number of such pseudos.

 Hard registers which can not be used for any purpose at given
 program point because they are unallocatable or already allocated
 for other pseudos.   
 Set up reserved hard regs for every program point.   
          There is no available regs – assign memory later.   
     Update reserved_hard_regs.   
       Just loop.   

References targetm.

static void assign_stack_slot_num_and_sort_pseudos ( )
static

Assign stack slot numbers to pseudos in array PSEUDO_REGNOS of length N. Sort pseudos in PSEUDO_REGNOS for subsequent assigning memory stack slots.

 Assign stack slot numbers to spilled pseudos, use smaller numbers
 for most frequently used pseudos.   
         New slot.   
 Sort regnos according to their slot numbers.

void lra_final_code_change ( void  )

Final change of pseudos got hard registers into the corresponding hard registers and removing temporary clobbers.

Remove clobbers temporarily created in LRA. We don't need them anymore and don't want to waste compiler time processing them in a few subsequent passes.

             Remove an useless move insn but only involving
             pseudos as some subsequent optimizations are based on
             that move insns involving originally hard registers
             are preserved.  IRA can generate move insns involving
             pseudos.  It is better remove them earlier to speed
             up compiler a bit.  It is also better to do it here
             as they might not pass final RTL check in LRA,
             (e.g. insn moving a control register into
             itself).   

References delete_insn(), and lra_invalidate_insn_data().

bool lra_need_for_spills_p ( void  )

Return true if we need to change some pseudos into memory.

void lra_spill ( void  )

Change spilled pseudos into memory or spill hard regs. Put changed insns on the constraint stack (these insns will be considered on the next constraint pass). The changed insns are all insns in which pseudos were changed.

  We do not want to assign memory for former scratches.   
 Sort regnos according their usage frequencies.   


   If we have a stack frame, we must align it now.  The stack size
   may be a part of the offset computation for register
   elimination.   
static int pseudo_reg_slot_compare ( )
static

Sort pseudos according to their slots, putting the slots in the order that they should be allocated. Slots with lower numbers have the highest priority and should get the smallest displacement from the stack or frame pointer (whichever is being used).

The first allocated slot is always closest to the frame pointer, so prefer lower slot numbers when frame_pointer_needed. If the stack and frame grow in the same direction, then the first allocated slot is always closest to the initial stack pointer and furthest away from the final stack pointer, so allocate higher numbers first when using the stack pointer in that case. The reverse is true if the stack and frame grow in opposite directions.

static int regno_freq_compare ( )
static

Sort pseudos according their usage frequencies.

References pseudo_slot::slot_num.

static void remove_pseudos ( )
static

Recursively process LOC in INSN and change spilled pseudos to the corresponding memory or spilled hard reg. Ignore spilled pseudos created from the scratches.

We do not want to assign memory for former scratches because it might result in an address reload for some targets. In any case we transform such pseudos not getting hard registers into scratches back.

static void spill_pseudos ( )
static

Convert spilled pseudos into their stack slots or spill hard regs, put insns to process on the constraint stack (that is all insns in which pseudos were changed to memory or spill hard regs).

Presence of any pseudo in CALL_INSN_FUNCTION_USAGE does not affect value of insn_bitmap of the corresponding lra_reg_info. That is because we don't need to reload pseudos in CALL_INSN_FUNCTION_USAGEs. So if we process only insns in the insn_bitmap of given pseudo here, we can miss the pseudo in some CALL_INSN_FUNCTION_USAGEs.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with GCC; see the file COPYING3. If not see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/. This file contains code for a pass to change spilled pseudos into memory.

The pass creates necessary stack slots and assigns spilled pseudos to the stack slots in following way:

for all spilled pseudos P most frequently used first do for all stack slots S do if P doesn't conflict with pseudos assigned to S then assign S to P and goto to the next pseudo process end end create new stack slot S and assign P to S end

The actual algorithm is bit more complicated because of different pseudo sizes.

After that the code changes spilled pseudos (except ones created from scratches) by corresponding stack slot memory in RTL.

If at least one stack slot was created, we need to run more passes because we have new addresses which should be checked and because the old address displacements might change and address constraints (or insn memory constraints) might not be satisfied any more.

For some targets, the pass can spill some pseudos into hard registers of different class (usually into vector registers) instead of spilling them into memory if it is possible and profitable. Spilling GENERAL_REGS pseudo into SSE registers for Intel Corei7 is an example of such optimization. And this is actually recommended by Intel optimization guide.

The file also contains code for final change of pseudos on hard regs correspondingly assigned to them. Max regno at the start of the pass.
