be non-optimal. To be precise, we should avoid folding loads if the instructions only update part of the destination register, and the non-updated part is not needed. e.g. cvtss2sd, sqrtss. Unfolding the load from these instructions breaks the partial register dependency and it can improve performance. e.g. movss (%rdi), %xmm0 cvtss2sd %xmm0, %xmm0 instead of cvtss2sd (%rdi), %xmm0 An alternative method to break dependency is to clear the register first. e.g. xorps %xmm0, %xmm0 cvtss2sd (%rdi), %xmm0 llvm-svn: 91672
