◆ lra_spill()

void lra_spill ( void )
Change spilled pseudos into memory or spill hard regs. Put changed insns on the constraint stack (these insns will be considered on the next constraint pass). The changed insns are all insns in which pseudos were changed.

◆ pseudo_reg_slot_compare()

int pseudo_reg_slot_compare ( const void * v1p,
const void * v2p )
static
Sort pseudos according to their slots, putting the slots in the order that they should be allocated. First prefer to group slots with variable sizes together and slots with constant sizes together, since that usually makes them easier to address from a common anchor point. E.g. loads of polynomial-sized registers tend to take polynomial offsets while loads of constant-sized registers tend to take constant (non-polynomial) offsets. Next, slots with lower numbers have the highest priority and should get the smallest displacement from the stack or frame pointer (whichever is being used). The first allocated slot is always closest to the frame pointer, so prefer lower slot numbers when frame_pointer_needed. If the stack and frame grow in the same direction, then the first allocated slot is always closest to the initial stack pointer and furthest away from the final stack pointer, so allocate higher numbers first when using the stack pointer in that case. The reverse is true if the stack and frame grow in opposite directions.

int regno_freq_compare ( const void * v1p,
const void * v2p )
static
Sort pseudos according their usage frequencies.

◆ remove_pseudos()

bool remove_pseudos ( rtx * loc,
rtx_insn * insn )
static
Recursively process LOC in INSN and change spilled pseudos to the corresponding memory or spilled hard reg. Ignore spilled pseudos created from the scratches. Return true if the pseudo nrefs equal to 0 (don't change the pseudo in this case). Otherwise return false.

This file contains code for a pass to change spilled pseudos into memory. The pass creates necessary stack slots and assigns spilled pseudos to the stack slots in following way: for all spilled pseudos P most frequently used first do for all stack slots S do if P doesn't conflict with pseudos assigned to S then assign S to P and goto to the next pseudo process end end create new stack slot S and assign P to S end The actual algorithm is bit more complicated because of different pseudo sizes. After that the code changes spilled pseudos (except ones created from scratches) by corresponding stack slot memory in RTL. If at least one stack slot was created, we need to run more passes because we have new addresses which should be checked and because the old address displacements might change and address constraints (or insn memory constraints) might not be satisfied any more. For some targets, the pass can spill some pseudos into hard registers of different class (usually into vector registers) instead of spilling them into memory if it is possible and profitable. Spilling GENERAL_REGS pseudo into SSE registers for Intel Corei7 is an example of such optimization. And this is actually recommended by Intel optimization guide. The file also contains code for final change of pseudos on hard regs correspondingly assigned to them.
Max regno at the start of the pass.
