Problem
When compiling a Rust struct marked with
#[repr(C, align(16)]
, we force a 16-byte alignment for it and all the necessary copies. The compiler wasn't handling this case correctly and would panic if we try to callmemcpy
with 16-byte aligned memory.Changes
The actual problem lies in
SBFSelectionDAGInfo.cpp
, which was not estimating the number of loads and stores correctly. It was using the alignment, not the number of bytes per operation, for the estimation. This has been fixed.Although not used in production, the backend has an option
-sbf-expand-memcpy-in-order
to expand loads and stores with increasing offsets. The function that does so wasn't handling 16-byte aligned memory and was emitting inefficient code (more loads and stores than necessary). This problem has also been fixed.There are tests for these two fixes included in this PR.
