(In reply to comment #8)
> It looks like target issue after all. I'm preparing a patch with following
OTOH, if the pattern says that it outputs to DImode pair (i.e. %eax/%edx, then
the whole pair is clobbered, no matter if any separate register is later used
or not. Due to this rationale, %edx should not be allocated and the patch from
comment #8 only papers over real problem.
To illustrate this problem further, following test clobbers %eax:
--cut here--
unsigned int __attribute__((noinline))
test (int shift_size)
{
unsigned long long res = ~0;
res <<= shift_size;
return res >> 32;
}
--cut here--
(insn 7 22 20 2 (parallel [
(set (reg:DI 0 ax [65])
(ashift:DI (const_int -1 [0xffffffffffffffff])
(reg:QI 2 cx [orig:63 shift_size ] [63])))
(clobber (reg:CC 17 flags))
]) t.c:8 489 {*ashldi3_doubleword}
(expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:QI 2 cx [orig:63 shift_size ] [63])
(expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:CC 17 flags)
(expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:SI 0 ax)
(expr_list:REG_EQUAL (ashift:DI (const_int -1
[0xffffffffffffffff])
(subreg:QI (reg/v:SI 2 cx [orig:63 shift_size ] [63])
0))
(nil))))))
peephole2 pass allocates SImode ax register as scratch:
(insn 31 30 32 2 (parallel [
(set (reg:SI 0 ax)
(const_int 0 [0]))
(clobber (reg:CC 17 flags))
]) t.c:8 -1
(nil))
(insn 32 31 33 2 (set (reg:CCZ 17 flags)
(compare:CCZ (and:QI (reg:QI 2 cx [orig:63 shift_size ] [63])
(const_int 32 [0x20]))
(const_int 0 [0]))) t.c:8 -1
(nil))
(insn 33 32 34 2 (set (reg:SI 1 dx [+4 ])
(if_then_else:SI (ne (reg:CCZ 17 flags)
(const_int 0 [0]))
(reg:SI 0 ax [65])
(reg:SI 1 dx [+4 ]))) t.c:8 -1
(nil))
(insn 34 33 20 2 (set (reg:SI 0 ax [65])
(if_then_else:SI (ne (reg:CCZ 17 flags)
(const_int 0 [0]))
(reg:SI 0 ax)
(reg:SI 0 ax [65]))) t.c:8 -1
(nil))
I'll speculate that (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:SI 0 ax)) plays critical role
here. Please compare this with (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:SI 1 dx)) in the
pre-peephole2 pattern in Comment #4.
