The vast majority of the following (very common) opcodes were always called with identical arguments: - `GIM_CheckType` for the root - `GIM_CheckRegBankForClass` for the root - `GIR_Copy` between the old and new root - `GIR_ConstrainSelectedInstOperands` on the new root - `GIR_BuildMI` to create the new root I added overloaded version of each opcode specialized for the root instructions. It always saves between 1 and 2 bytes per instance depending on the number of arguments specialized into the opcode. Some of these opcodes had between 5 and 15k occurences in the AArch64 GlobalISel Match Table. Additionally, the following opcodes are almost always used in the same sequence: - `GIR_EraseFromParent 0` + `GIR_Done` - `GIR_EraseRootFromParent_Done` has been created to do both. Saves 2 bytes per occurence. - `GIR_IsSafeToFold` was *always* called for each InsnID except 0. - Changed the opcode to take the number of instructions to check after `MI[0]` The savings from these are pretty neat. For `AArch64GenGlobalISel.inc`: - `AArch64InstructionSelector.cpp.o` goes down from 772kb to 704kb (-10% code size) - Self-reported MatchTable size goes from 420380 bytes to 352426 bytes (~ -17%) A smaller match table means a faster match table because we spend less time iterating and decoding. I don't have a solid measurement methodology for GlobalISel performance so I don't have precise numbers but I saw a few % of improvements in a simple testcase.
