7 // This pass removes unnecessary copies/moves in BBs based on a dominating
8 // condition.
9 //
10 // We handle three cases:
11 // 1. For BBs that are targets of CBZ/CBNZ instructions, we know the value of
12 //    the CBZ/CBNZ source register is zero on the taken/not-taken path. For
13 //    instance, the copy instruction in the code below can be removed because
14 //    the CBZW jumps to %bb.2 when w0 is zero.
15 //
16 //  %bb.1:
17 //    cbz w0, .LBB0_2
18 //  .LBB0_2:
19 //    mov w0, wzr  ; <-- redundant
20 //
21 // 2. If the flag setting instruction defines a register other than WZR/XZR, we
22 //    can remove a zero copy in some cases.
23 //
24 //  %bb.0:
25 //    subs w0, w1, w2
26 //    str w0, [x1]
27 //    b.ne .LBB0_2
28 //  %bb.1:
29 //    mov w0, wzr  ; <-- redundant
30 //    str w0, [x2]
31 //  .LBB0_2
32 //
33 // 3. Finally, if the flag setting instruction is a comparison against a
34 //    constant (i.e., ADDS[W|X]ri, SUBS[W|X]ri), we can remove a mov immediate
35 //    in some cases.
36 //
37 //  %bb.0:
38 //    subs xzr, x0, #1
39 //    b.eq .LBB0_1
40 //  .LBB0_1:
41 //    orr x0, xzr, #0x1  ; <-- redundant
42 //
43 // This pass should be run after register allocation.
44 //
45 // FIXME: This could also be extended to check the whole dominance subtree below
46 // the comparison if the compile time regression is acceptable.
47 //
48 // FIXME: Add support for handling CCMP instructions.
49 // FIXME: If the known register value is zero, we should be able to rewrite uses
50 //        to use WZR/XZR directly in some cases.
