------- Comment #7 from vmakarov at redhat dot com 2009-04-24 15:53 ------- In gcc4.4 we have before reg-stack.c
(insn 96 82 97 4 /home/vmakarov/build/bb.ii:8 (parallel [ (set (mem/c:SI (plus:SI (reg/f:SI 7 sp) (const_int 28 [0x1c])) [0 S4 A32]) (fix:SI (reg:DF 9 st(1)))) (clobber (reg:XF 9 st(1))) ]) 119 {fix_truncsi_i387_fisttp} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DF 9 st(1)) (nil))) in subst_stack_regs first it is changed to (insn:TI 96 82 97 4 /home/vmakarov/build/bb.ii:8 (parallel [ (set (mem/c:SI (plus:SI (reg/f:SI 7 sp) (const_int 28 [0x1c])) [0 S4 A32]) (fix:SI (reg:DF 8 st))) (clobber (reg:XF 9 st(1))) ]) 119 {fix_truncsi_i387_fisttp} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DF 8 st) (nil))) Then it is trying to change clobber and fail because there is no note about dead or unused reg 9, it fails in subst_stack_regs_pat on the assert: if (note) emit_pop_insn (insn, regstack, *dest, EMIT_BEFORE); else { note = find_reg_note (insn, REG_UNUSED, *dest); gcc_assert (note); } The gcc4.3 has analogous insn before reg-stack.c (insn 106 92 107 4 bb.ii:8 (parallel [ (set (mem/c:SI (plus:SI (reg/f:SI 7 sp) (const_int 28 [0x1c])) [0 S4 A8]) (fix:SI (reg:DF 11 st(3)))) (clobber (reg:XF 11 st(3))) ]) 159 {fix_truncsi_i387_fisttp} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DF 11 st(3)) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:XF 11 st(3)) (nil)))) The difference is in presense of REG_UNUSED (reg:XF 11 st(3)) which does not permit the gcc_assert aborts gcc4.3. The note is present because LR_OUT at BB 4 does not contain 11 st(3). Quite opposite, 9 st(1) is in LR_OUT at BB 4 in gcc4.4. Therefore REG_UNUSED note is not generated for gcc4.4. So why there is such difference in LR_OUT for 4.3 vs 4.4? Gcc4.3 is lucky to use 11 st (3) only in BB3 (where insn 116 is placed). Gcc4.4 uses 9 st(1) in insn 96 and reuses it in many other BBs. Because of partially set register for variable R, we got that LR_OUT is set up in BB 3. If somebody is interesting here is the CFG with LR_OUT & LR_IN and usage of 9 st (1): 0 | v 2--> | | v | 3->| lr_out:9 set 9;use 9;clobber 9 | | v | 4 | lr_out:9 call | | v | 5<- lr_in:9 lr_out:9 |\ | \ 6->| lr_out:9 set 9 | | | | 7 | lr_in:9 lr_out:9 use 9 .. set 9 | | | | 8<- lr_in:9 lr_out:9 |\ | \ 9 | lr_in:9 use 9 | | | | 10<- So the code if (note) emit_pop_insn (insn, regstack, *dest, EMIT_BEFORE); else { note = find_reg_note (insn, REG_UNUSED, *dest); gcc_assert (note); } does not take situation of reusage of hard register for partially set variable. IMHO, the code should be Index: reg-stack.c =================================================================== --- reg-stack.c (revision 146648) +++ reg-stack.c (working copy) @@ -1381,11 +1381,9 @@ subst_stack_regs_pat (rtx insn, stack re if (note) emit_pop_insn (insn, regstack, *dest, EMIT_BEFORE); else - { - note = find_reg_note (insn, REG_UNUSED, *dest); - gcc_assert (note); - } - remove_note (insn, note); + note = find_reg_note (insn, REG_UNUSED, *dest); + if (note) + remove_note (insn, note); replace_reg (dest, FIRST_STACK_REG + 1); } else I'll send the patch soon. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39856
