Subject: nir: Skip emitting no-op movs from the builder.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7025dbe7;p=mesa.git

nir: Skip emitting no-op movs from the builder.

Having passes generate these is just making more work for copy
propagation (and thus probably calling more optimization passes)
later.  Noticed while trying to debug nir_opt_algebraic()
top-to-bottom having O(n^2) behavior due to not finding new matches in
replacement code.
