TODO: - Un-bitrot ISel - Hook up If-Conversion a la ARM target - Hook up all branch analysis functions - Instruction scheduling - Bundling - Dynamic Optimization - Testing and bugfixing - stop passing FP args in both FP *and* integer regs when not required - allocate low (nonstacked) registers more aggressively - clean up and thoroughly test the isel patterns. - fix stacked register allocation order: (for readability) we don't want the out? registers being the first ones used - fix up floating point (nb http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki?pagename=ia64%20floating%20point ) - bundling! (we will avoid the mess that is: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-12/msg00832.html ) - instruction scheduling (hmmmm! ;) - counted loop support - make integer + FP mul/div more clever (we have fixed pseudocode atm) - track and use comparison complements INFO: - we are strictly LP64 here, no support for ILP32 on HP-UX. Linux users don't need to worry about this. - i have instruction scheduling/bundling pseudocode, that really works (has been tested, albeit at the perl-script level). so, before you go write your own, send me an email! KNOWN DEFECTS AT THE CURRENT TIME: - C++ vtables contain naked function pointers, not function descriptors, which is bad. see http://llvm.cs.uiuc.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=406 - varargs are broken - alloca doesn't work (indeed, stack frame layout is bogus) - no support for big-endian environments - (not really the backend, but...) the CFE has some issues on IA64. these will probably be fixed soon.
