Hello everyone,
In the file lib/CodeGen/AsmPrinter/AsmPrinter.cpp, I would like to obtain an MCInst corresponding to its MachineInstr. Can anyone tell me a way to do that?
If that is not possible, then, I would like to know if a given MachineInstr is an lea instruction and I would like to know if the symbol involved with this lea instruction is a jump-table.
For instance, given a MachineInstr, I would like to know if it is of the following form.
leaq LJTI0_0(%rip), %rax
Also, say, I want to add custom labels (some string) while generating assembly right before emitting such lea instructions, how do I do that given that OutStreamer->EmitLabel() takes MCSymbol as an argument and not a string/StringRef?
My goal: To find lea instructions corresponding to jump-tables and emit a custom label before such instructions and also maintain a count of how many such lea instructions are there for each jump-table (using a DenseMap).
I have a workaround for all the problems stated above but I want to write a cleaner solution.
- For finding an lea instruction and emitting a label before actually emitting it, I have modified the EmitInstruction() function in MCAsmStreamer.cpp wherein I keep track of how many lea instructions are there for each jump-table using a DenseMap.
- As I require the number of lea instructions per jump-table in AsmPrinter.cpp, I have created a function in MCAsmStreamer.cpp which returns the DenseMap (added a declaration of this function in MCStreamer.h).
Is there a way to do both of the aforementioned bullet points inside AsmPrinter.cpp without having to call a function in MCAsmStreamer?
Thank you.

Hi Malhar,

Usually, it happens in lib/Target/X86/X86MCInstLower.cpp, the X86MCInstLower class is used by the X86AsmPrinter (subclass of the AsmPrinter).
If that is not possible, then, I would like to know if a given MachineInstr is an lea instruction and I would like to know if the symbol involved with this lea instruction is a jump-table.
You can identify if a MachineInstr is a lea instruction by using something similar to the function isLEA from lib/Target/X86/X86OptimizeLEAs.cpp.
You can also identify if any of the operands of a MachineInstruction is a jump-table reference by iterating over all the MachineOperands and checking if it’s a jump-table index using the function isJTI.
For instance, given a MachineInstr, I would like to know if it is of the following form.
leaq LJTI0_0(%rip), %rax

You will need to create an MCSymbol from a string. The class MCContext is able to create symbols and manage them, so you should be able to create a symbol and pass it to EmitLabel using getOrCreateSymbol or any of the functions in include/llvm/MC/MCContext.h.

How are you planning to consume that DenseMap? If you only want to dump it you can probably keep track of everything in X86AsmPrinter::EmitInstruction (lib/Target/X86/X86MCInstLower.cpp).
I recommend doing everything in the target-specific code as you are only interested in x86 specifics.
