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.
With an undef operand, it's possible for getVRegDef to fail and return
null. This is an edge case very little code bothered to
consider. Proper gMIR should use G_IMPLICIT_DEF instead.
I initially tried to apply this restriction to all SSA MIR, so then
getVRegDef would never fail anywhere. However, ProcessImplicitDefs
does technically run while the function is in SSA. ProcessImplicitDefs
and DetectDeadLanes would need to either move, or a new pseudo-SSA
type of function property would need to be introduced.
