* Transform (x&C)>V into (x&C)!=0 where possiblePaul Redmond2012-12-191-37/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When the least bit of C is greater than V, (x&C) must be greater than V if it is not zero, so the comparison can be simplified. Although this was suggested in Target/X86/README.txt, it benefits any architecture with a directly testable form of AND.

* Add a natural stack alignment field to TargetData, and prevent InstCombine fromLang Hames2011-10-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | promoting allocas to preferred alignments that exceed the natural alignment. This avoids some potentially expensive dynamic stack realignments. The natural stack alignment is set in target data strings via the "S<size>" option. Size is in bits and must be a multiple of 8. The natural stack alignment defaults to "unspecified" (represented by a zero value), and the "unspecified" value does not prevent any alignment promotions. Target maintainers that care about avoiding promotions should explicitly add the "S<size>" option to their target data strings. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@141599 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* Add a neat little two's complement hack for x86.Benjamin Kramer2011-07-261-25/+8
| | | | | | | | | | On x86 we can't encode an immediate LHS of a sub directly. If the RHS comes from a XOR with a constant we can fold the negation into the xor and add one to the immediate of the sub. Then we can turn the sub into an add, which can be commuted and encoded efficiently. This code is generated for __builtin_clz and friends. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@136167 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

Positive approximations require fewer operations beyond the multiplication. In the case of division by 3, we still generate code that is a single instruction larger than GCC's code. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@126097 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
