------- Comment #6 from bonzini at gnu dot org 2006-09-05 19:25 ------- To clarify, I make this suggestion because I think that we were getting it right pre-4.2 just out of luck.
I also thought about having a lower commutative_operand_precedence for REG_POINTER regs than normal regs, but in fact regs need to have the same precedence as other rtx's of class RTX_OBJ, or you get pessimization on x86 (e.g. on crafty). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28690
