Ulrich Weigand <uweigand at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |uweigand at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #4 from Ulrich Weigand <uweigand at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Yes, this seems a generic reload bug. The comment ahead of the lines you're adding say: If [...] the operand contains a register that dies in this insn *and is used nowhere else* [...] which is supposed to be implemented by this check: && ! refers_to_regno_for_reload_p (regno, end_hard_regno (rel_mode, regno), PATTERN (this_insn), inloc) But this doesn't look into registers used as function arguments. I'm not sure why this hasn't occured elsewhere ... however, in your particular case, it is triggered by a call insn pattern using memory-indirect addressing, which is probably not available on many targets. Your patch is a little too conservative, however: it rejects any register that could potentially be used as function argument, even if it isn't actually used in this particular call. Can you check whether this alternative patch (using find_reg_fusage) also fixes the problem for you?
