This will currently accept the old number of bytes syntax, and convert
it to a scalar. This should be removed in the near future (I think I
converted all of the tests already, but likely missed a few).
Not sure what the exact syntax and policy should be. We can continue
printing the number of bytes for non-generic instructions to avoid
test churn and only allow non-scalar types for generic instructions.
This will currently print the LLT in parentheses, but accept parsing
the existing integers and implicitly converting to scalar. The
parentheses are a bit ugly, but the parser logic seems unable to deal
without either parentheses or some keyword to indicate the start of a
type.
- When memory intrinsics, such as memcpy, the attached scoped AA
metadata is not passed down to the backend. As a result, the backend
cannot schedule relevant memory operations around them following that
hint. In this patch, SelectionDAG is enhanced to propagate that
metadata (scoped AA only) when they are lowered into loads and stores.
