abrown opened PR #4876 from remove-load-xmm-const
to main
:
This is a cherry-pick of a long-ago commit, 2d46637. The original
message reads:Now that
SyntheticAmode
can refer to constants, there is no longer a
need for a separate instruction format--standard load instructions will
work.Since then, the transition to ISLE and the use of
XmmLoadConst
in many
more places makes this change a larger diff than the original. The basic
idea is the same, though: the extra indirection ofInst::XMmLoadConst
is removed and replaced by a direct use ofVCodeConstant
as a
SyntheticAmode
. This has no effect on codegen, but the CLIF output is
now clearer in that the actual instruction is displayed (e.g.,movdqu
)
instead of a made-up instruction (load_const
).<!--
