Receiving LLVM Error in Custom Backend

Project Infrastructure LLVM Dev List Archives

Hi,

I am receiving an LLVM Error from a custom 16-bit backend I am creating. I am having trouble understanding the error/problem and how to go about solving it. The error is:

LLVM ERROR: Cannot select: t29: i32,ch = load<LD2[%x.addr], anyext from i16> t14, FrameIndex:i16<0>, undef:i16
t7: i16 = FrameIndex<0>
t9: i16 = undef
In function: mul_add

Can anyone provide any pointers as to what the problem is and potential places I should look to fix it?

Thanks and best regards,

Mush

R u trying to match this pattern in table gen?

Hi Ryan,

I am trying, but am not sure I am doing it right. I am having a problem understanding the error tbh, is it complaining that the load instruction is not being matched? or that i16 is not defined? I can’t seem to get my head around the specific error :S

The DAG pattern is not represented in table-gen, that’s what the error is telling you. During the DAG selection phase, the DAG pattern is not represented anywhere in table-gen so it’s unable to move further in the flow… and produces an error.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to do exactly but try to represent this pattern in table-gen. If the arch doesn’t support the pattern, then you might have to something with it in the DAG.

You should be able to see this if you do something like: llc -view-isel-dags yourfile.ll (and you have vizgraph, etc… setup). This will show the DAG just before ISel phase.
