cmd/compile: optimize signed non-negative div/mod by a power of 2
This CL optimizes assembly for len() or cap() division
by a power of 2 constants:
func lenDiv(s []int) int {
return len(s) / 16
}
amd64 assembly before the CL:
MOVQ "".s+16(SP), AX
MOVQ AX, CX
SARQ $63, AX
SHRQ $60, AX
ADDQ CX, AX
SARQ $4, AX
MOVQ AX, "".~r1+32(SP)
RET
amd64 assembly after the CL:
MOVQ "".s+16(SP), AX
SHRQ $4, AX
MOVQ AX, "".~r1+32(SP)
RET
The CL relies on the fact that len() and cap() result cannot
be negative.
Trigger stats for the added SSA rules on linux/amd64 when running
make.bash:
46 Div64
12 Mod64
The added SSA rules may trigger on more cases in the future
when SSA values will be populated with the info on their
lower bounds.
For instance:
func f(i int16) int16 {
if i < 3 {
return -1
}
// Lower bound of i is 3 here -> i is non-negative,
// so unsigned arithmetics may be used here.
return i % 16
}
