9 /// This file defines the pass that looks through the machine instructions
10 /// late in the compilation, and finds byte or word instructions that
11 /// can be profitably replaced with 32 bit instructions that give equivalent
12 /// results for the bits of the results that are used. There are two possible
13 /// reasons to do this.
15 /// One reason is to avoid false-dependences on the upper portions
16 /// of the registers. Only instructions that have a destination register
17 /// which is not in any of the source registers can be affected by this.
18 /// Any instruction where one of the source registers is also the destination
19 /// register is unaffected, because it has a true dependence on the source
20 /// register already. So, this consideration primarily affects load
21 /// instructions and register-to-register moves. It would
22 /// seem like cmov(s) would also be affected, but because of the way cmov is
23 /// really implemented by most machines as reading both the destination and
24 /// and source registers, and then "merging" the two based on a condition,
25 /// it really already should be considered as having a true dependence on the
26 /// destination register as well.
28 /// The other reason to do this is for potential code size savings. Word
29 /// operations need an extra override byte compared to their 32 bit
30 /// versions. So this can convert many word operations to their larger
31 /// size, saving a byte in encoding. This could introduce partial register
32 /// dependences where none existed however. As an example take:
35 /// now if this were to get transformed into
38 /// because the addl encodes shorter than the addw, this would introduce
39 /// a use of a register that was only partially written earlier. On older
40 /// Intel processors this can be quite a performance penalty, so this should
41 /// probably only be done when it can be proven that a new partial dependence
42 /// wouldn't be created, or when your know a newer processor is being
43 /// targeted, or when optimizing for minimum code size.
