Hello,

I am a little confused by the code in sched-deps.c. 

1. what is the purpose of the reg_note and ds_t? I see the function dk_to_ds, and the comment in sched-int.h, "Dependence on instruction can be of multiple types
(e.g. true and output). This fields enhance REG_NOTE_KIND information of the dependence.". What is enhanced from REG_DEP_TRUE to DEP_TRUE?

in struct _dep, I only find the dependence that is related with REG_NOTE (or registers). Even ds_t only as DEP_TRUE/DEP_OUTPUT/DEP_ANTI. Does this mean that gcc doesn't differentiate reg dependence and memory dependence?

Where can I find information about memory dependences such as a write and read on elementa[100] ? Sometimes meory dependence should be handled differenly with reg dependece in CG, such as the latency between the producer and the consumer.

2. What different purpose are haifa_note_mem_dep and haifa_note_dep for?

thanks
