删除llvm backend中mips部分指令

some tricks

1.1 grep search

在当前目录下地柜查找

grep -riln xxx

insert键可以直接粘贴

1.2 cmake 使用

LLVM_TRAGE_TO_BUILD
cmake时,可以指定-DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=”X86;Mips”只生成指定平台的后端

1.3 在线的API接口

LLVM classes
MDNode数据结构,可携带调试信息带入后端使用,与MetaData绑定在一起使用,如,可标记c的代码,与生成的汇编代码一一对应.

1.4 一本写后端的书

Tutorial: Creating an LLVM Backend for
the Cpu0 Architecture

1.5 google search

多使用谷歌搜索, llvm mips backend

1.6 vim插件

vim rc 可在github上搜索,下载

1.7 gdb clang

gdb时加上参数

touch foo.cpp
./clang foo.cpp -###

删除Mips部分指令

需要对Mips架构,指令有所了解,不能随便删.可能会有未知的影响.
在include/llvm/IR/instrinsicsMips.td中,定义了前端与后端对应的指令名称,如:

// Multiplication

def int_mips_muleu_s_ph_qbl: GCCBuiltin<"__builtin_mips_muleu_s_ph_qbl">,
  Intrinsic<[mips_v2q15_ty], [llvm_v4i8_ty, mips_v2q15_ty], []>;

// MIPS MSA
// This instruction is part of the MSA spec but it does not share the
// __builtin_msa prefix because it operates on GP registers.

def int_mips_fmin_w : GCCBuiltin<"__builtin_msa_fmin_w">,
  Intrinsic<[llvm_v4f32_ty], [llvm_v4f32_ty, llvm_v4f32_ty], [IntrNoMem]>;

int_mips_fmin_w是后端定义的指令,builtin_msa_fmin_w是clang 使用的指令名称
找到需要删除的指令后,到llvm/lib/Target/Mips下grep相应的指令,找到相关的td和pass, 一个个点进去,注释,找到相应的子类, 以及继承的父类,然后注释.
前端暂时不需要动,如果需要生成新的target,那么则需要修改clang, 比如,

cd clang
grep -rin "mips64-linux-gnuabi64"

找到相对应的位置,可以直接将mips64替换为新的target.
