[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v7 4/6] mesa/st: glsl_to_tgsi: add register rename mapping evaluator

Gert Wollny gw.fossdev at gmail.com
Mon Jul 17 15:47:26 UTC 2017


The remapping evaluator first sorts the temporary registers ascending
based on their first life time instruction, and then uses a binary search
to find merge canidates.
For the initial sorting it uses std::sort because qsort is quite slow in
comparison. By removing the define USE_STL_SORT in
  src/mesa/state_tracker/st_glsl_to_tgsi_temprename.cpp
one can enable the alternative code path that uses qsort.

Registers that are not written to are not considered for renaming since in
glsl_to_tgsi_visitor::renumber_registers they are eliminated anyway.
