[Bug target/45198] New: Unnecessary spill slot for highpart extraction of xmm reg

[rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org]

When building g++.dg/torture/pr36445.C at -O2 you can see

        call    _Z5func2v
        movaps  %xmm0, (%rsp)
        movq    (%rsp), %rdx
        movq    8(%rsp), %rax
        movq    %rdx, 16(%rsp)
        movl    %eax, 24(%rsp)

where the stack-slot spills are caused by

(insn 26 5 27 2 (set (reg:V4SF 72)
        (reg:V4SF 21 xmm0))
/space/rguenther/src/svn/trunk/gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/torture/pr36445.C:20 1054
{*movv4sf_internal}
     (nil))

(insn 27 26 28 2 (set (reg:DI 70 [ D.2130 ])
        (subreg:DI (reg:V4SF 72) 0))
/space/rguenther/src/svn/trunk/gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/torture/pr36445.C:20 61
{*movdi_internal_rex64}
     (nil))

(insn 28 27 24 2 (set (reg:DI 71 [ D.2130+8 ])
        (subreg:DI (reg:V4SF 72) 8))
/space/rguenther/src/svn/trunk/gcc/testsuite/g++.dg/torture/pr36445.C:20 61
{*movdi_internal_rex64}
     (nil))

where we are unable to verify the constraints for insn 28 because there
is no move pattern that would special case hipart extraction (which
could use movhps).
