Re: How to forbid register allocator to overlap bewteen DEST and SOURCE

[jiejie_rong]

Hi,

        Thanks for your reply :)

        Maybe there are some register limits in reload pass with my case like 
<multiply-add>

        We need to expand to ‘mov’ and ‘madd’ first to get suitable registers.
