The zero_extend is a fixed part of the insn pattern in question: (define_insn "*lea_4_zext" [(set (match_operand:DI 0 "register_operand" "=r") (zero_extend:DI (match_operand:SI 1 "lea_address_operand" "p")))] Reload only ever changes what is *inside* the operands. It does not change the fixed parts of the pattern (outside of operands). What I would have expected to happen is for reload to load the (const_int 1) into an SImode register, and then zero-extend that one ... Not sure why that doesn't happen. I'll have a look.
