Significantly simplify this code and make it more aggressive. Instead of having
a special case hack for X86, make the hack more general: if an incoming argument register is not used in any block other than the entry block, don't copy it to a vreg. This helps us compile code like this: %struct.foo = type { int, int, [0 x ubyte] } int %test(%struct.foo* %X) { %tmp1 = getelementptr %struct.foo* %X, int 0, uint 2, int 100 %tmp = load ubyte* %tmp1 ; <ubyte> [#uses=1] %tmp2 = cast ubyte %tmp to int ; <int> [#uses=1] ret int %tmp2 } to: _test: lbz r3, 108(r3) blr instead of: _test: lbz r2, 108(r3) or r3, r2, r2 blr The (dead) copy emitted to copy r3 into a vreg for extra-block uses was increasing the live range of r3 past the load, preventing the coallescing. This implements CodeGen/PowerPC/reg-coallesce-simple.ll llvm-svn: 24115
