I am new to LLVM and understanding the instruction generation by LLVM. As part of this, I am trying to convert a basic boolean instruction to use memory registers directly as operands. For example, in the below IR, I would like the and
operation to use %a
and %b
instead of %11
and %12
.
%11 = load i32, i32* %a, align 4 \n
%12 = load i32, i32* %b, align 4 \n
%13 = and i32 %11, %12\
store i32 %13, i32* %d, align 4\n
Do I need to write a new and
instruction for this, or is there another easier way?
Answer
I don't think it's feasible. Memory in LLVM cannot be accessed without explicit loads or stores.
