Hi, The Neon multiply/multiply-accumulate/multiply-subtract instructions can take various forms - multiplying full vector registers of values or multiplying one vector by a single element of another. Regardless of the form used, these instructions have the same cost, and this should be reflected by the RTL cost function.
This patch adds RTL tree traversal in the Neon multiply cost function
to match the vec_select used by the lane-referencing forms of the
instructions already mentioned. This traversal prevents the cost of
the vec_select from being added into the cost of the multiply -
meaning that these instructions can now be emitted in the combine
pass as they are no longer deemed prohibitively expensive.
Regression tested and bootstrapped on aarch64-none-linux-gnu - no
issues.
Ok for master?
Thanks,
Jonathan
