Then we should experiment with What do you mean by more efficient here ? they'll end up calling down to the same unspec block if we implemented them - memcpy / memmove go through the backend block_move interface. Will try the patch with a hacked up movmisalign pattern in the backend. > > Index: gcc/gimple-fold.c > =================================================================== > --- gcc/gimple-fold.c (revision 227252) > +++ gcc/gimple-fold.c (working copy) > @@ -708,7 +708,9 @@ gimple_fold_builtin_memory_op (gimple_st > /* If the destination pointer is not aligned we must be > able > to emit an unaligned store. */ > && (dest_align >= GET_MODE_ALIGNMENT (TYPE_MODE (type)) > - || !SLOW_UNALIGNED_ACCESS (TYPE_MODE (type), > dest_align))) > + || !SLOW_UNALIGNED_ACCESS (TYPE_MODE (type), > dest_align) > + || (optab_handler (movmisalign_optab, TYPE_MODE > (type)) > + != CODE_FOR_nothing))) > { > tree srctype = type; > tree desttype = type; > @@ -720,7 +722,10 @@ gimple_fold_builtin_memory_op (gimple_st > srcmem = tem; > else if (src_align < GET_MODE_ALIGNMENT (TYPE_MODE > (type)) > && SLOW_UNALIGNED_ACCESS (TYPE_MODE (type), > - src_align)) > + src_align) > + && (optab_handler (movmisalign_optab, > + TYPE_MODE (type)) > + == CODE_FOR_nothing)) > srcmem = NULL_TREE; > if (srcmem) > {
