[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 3/5] i965/fs: New peephole optimization to generate SEL.

Matt Turner mattst88 at gmail.com
Fri Nov 1 02:57:24 CET 2013


fs_visitor::try_replace_with_sel optimizes only if statements whose
"then" and "else" bodies contain a single MOV instruction. It also
could not handle constant arguments, since they cause an extra MOV
immediate to be generated (since we haven't run constant propagation,
there are more than the single MOV).

This peephole fixes both of these and operates as a normal optimization
pass.

fs_visitor::try_replace_with_sel is still arguably necessary, since it
runs before pull constant loads are lowered.

total instructions in shared programs: 1417596 -> 1405551 (-0.85%)
instructions in affected programs:     168590 -> 156545 (-7.14%)
GAINED:                                10
LOST:                                  4
