I have made the following changes in the estimate_reg_pressure_cost function used by the loop invariant and IVOPTS.
Earlier the estimate_reg_pressure cost uses the cost of n_new variables that are generated by the Loop Invariant and IVOPTS. These are not sufficient for register pressure calculation. The register pressure cost calculation should use the n_new + n_old (numbers) to consider the cost. n_old is the register used inside the loops and the effect of n_new new variables generated by loop invariant and IVOPTS on register pressure is based on how the new variables impact on register used inside the loops. The increase or decrease in register pressure is due to the impact of new variables on the register used inside the loops. The register-register move cost or the spill cost should consider the cost associated with register used and the new variables generated. The movement of new variables increases or decreases the register pressure, which is based on overall cost of n_new + n_old variables. The increase and decrease in register pressure is based on the overall cost of n_new + n_old as the changes in the register pressure caused due to new variables is based on how the changes behave with respect to the register used in the loops. Thus the register pressure caused to new variables is based on the new variables and its impact on register used inside the loops and thus consider the overall cost of n_new + n_old. Bootstrap for i386 and reg tested on i386 with the change is fine. SPEC CPU 2000 benchmarks are run and there is following impact on the performance and code size. ratio with the optimization vs ratio without optimization for INT benchmarks (3807.632 vs 3804.661) ratio with the optimization vs ratio without optimization for FP benchmarks ( 4668.743 vs 4778.741) Code size reduction with respect to FP SPEC CPU 2000 benchmarks Number of instruction with optimization = 1094117 Number of instruction without optimization = 1094659 Reduction in number of instruction with the optimization = 542 instruction. [Patch,optimization]: Optimized changes in the estimate register pressure cost. Earlier the estimate_reg_pressure cost uses the cost of n_new variables that are generated by the Loop Invariant and IVOPTS. These are not sufficient for register pressure calculation. The register pressure cost calculation should use the n_new + n_old (numbers) to consider the cost. n_old is the register used inside the loops and the affect of n_new new variables generated by loop invariant and IVOPTS on register pressure is based on how the new variables impact on register used inside the loops.
