Hi All,
I've been working on implementing this feature for almost a year now. Here's a link to the original thread: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-September/105027.html. Several people have expressed their interest in this work, and the actual development of it is complete at this point.
In April I posted a few patches for review, the shorter ones were committed, but the longer one is taking more time: ⚙ D31951 TableGen support for parameterized register class information.
In essence, it replaces TableGen's type inference to allow pattern matching in the presence of parametrized register classes. In addition to that, it changes the emission of register class data to reflect the parametrization.
Several people have been helping with the reviewing, but due to the size of the patch (it's not easily reducible), it's probably hard to expect any individual person to review it entirely.
I'd like to get some general agreement that this patch can be committed (or comments about what can be improved before committing). I'll be fixing any issues that come up. This is the last chunk of code in this project that is still waiting for review.
I updated the review summary with the overview of the implementation (including rationale for various decisions).
I hope to get this committed soon. A patch that utilizes this in Hexagon will follow shortly.
