2To-do

4
5* Enable LSR for SPARC.
6* Keep the address of the constant pool in a register instead of forming its
7  address all of the time.
8* We can fold small constant offsets into the %hi/%lo references to constant
9  pool addresses as well.
10* When in V9 mode, register allocate %icc[0-3].
11* Emit the 'Branch on Integer Register with Prediction' instructions.  It's
12  not clear how to write a pattern for this though:
13
14float %t1(int %a, int* %p) {
15        %C = seteq int %a, 0
16        br bool %C, label %T, label %F
17T:
18        store int 123, int* %p
19        br label %F
20F:
21        ret float undef
22}
23
24codegens to this:
25
26t1:
27        save -96, %o6, %o6
281)      subcc %i0, 0, %l0
291)      bne .LBBt1_2    ! F
30        nop
31.LBBt1_1:       ! T
32        or %g0, 123, %l0
33        st %l0, [%i1]
34.LBBt1_2:       ! F
35        restore %g0, %g0, %g0
36        retl
37        nop

391) should be replaced with a brz in V9 mode.
40
41* Same as above, but emit conditional move on register zero (p192) in V9 
42  mode.  Testcase:
43
44int %t1(int %a, int %b) {
45        %C = seteq int %a, 0
46        %D = select bool %C, int %a, int %b
47        ret int %D
48}
49
50* Emit MULX/[SU]DIVX instructions in V9 mode instead of fiddling 
51  with the Y register, if they are faster.
52
53* Codegen bswap(load)/store(bswap) -> load/store ASI
54
55* Implement frame pointer elimination, e.g. eliminate save/restore for 
56  leaf fns.
57* Fill delay slots
