Zouqiong,
If you do instrumentation in HIR you can't predict which registers will be
used in CG.
If you do instrumentation in LIR you can only assign predefined registers or
constraints to your operands, but you can't affect register allocation for
unassigned operands.
So if you think that RegAlloc does a bad job for you, this is RegAlloc issue
and must be fixed in RegAlloc.
+ Reg-allocator does change side-effects of your code. Loading EAX from a
stack in your example can have only 1 drawback: performance problem. Is
performance your problem here?

Hi, guys,
I instrument during code selector pass, however, I find that my
instrmentation affects the register allocation. For example as follows:
mov %ebp, eax
add 0xc, eax
mov $0xe1f0f4,%ebx
mov (%ebx),%edx
mov $0xe1f0f4,%ebx
subl $0x10,(%ebx)
mov %eax,(%edx)
mov 0x8(%esp),%eax
mov %eax,0x4(%edx)
movl $0x9a0000,0x8(%edx)
mov 0xc(%ebp,%eax,4),%ebp
The code in yellow backgroud is my instrumentation. And we can see
that EAX is loaded from the stack in the instrumentation. It's bad.
I don't want my instrumentation doing it.
Can someone tell me how can i avoid it?
Thanks,
Qiong
