29 /// Expand an atomic RMW instruction into a loop utilizing
30 /// cmpxchg. You'll want to make sure your target machine likes cmpxchg
31 /// instructions in the first place and that there isn't another, better,
32 /// transformation available (for example AArch32/AArch64 have linked loads).
33 ///
34 /// This is useful in passes which can't rewrite the more exotic RMW
35 /// instructions directly into a platform specific intrinsics (because, say,
36 /// those intrinsics don't exist). If such a pass is able to expand cmpxchg
37 /// instructions directly however, then, with this function, it could avoid two
38 /// extra module passes (avoiding passes by `-atomic-expand` and itself). A
39 /// specific example would be PNaCl's `RewriteAtomics` pass.
40 ///
41 /// Given: atomicrmw some_op iN* %addr, iN %incr ordering
42 ///
43 /// The standard expansion we produce is:
44 ///     [...]
45 ///     %init_loaded = load atomic iN* %addr
46 ///     br label %loop
47 /// loop:
48 ///     %loaded = phi iN [ %init_loaded, %entry ], [ %new_loaded, %loop ]
49 ///     %new = some_op iN %loaded, %incr
50 /// ; This is what -atomic-expand will produce using this function on i686
51 /// targets:
52 ///     %pair = cmpxchg iN* %addr, iN %loaded, iN %new_val
53 ///     %new_loaded = extractvalue { iN, i1 } %pair, 0
54 ///     %success = extractvalue { iN, i1 } %pair, 1
55 /// ; End callback produced IR
56 ///     br i1 %success, label %atomicrmw.end, label %loop
57 /// atomicrmw.end:
58 ///     [...]
59 ///
60 /// Returns true if the containing function was modified.
