Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Last reconfirmed| |2019-02-13 CC| |rts at gcc dot gnu.org Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #6 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I guess the backend needs to help combiner here, e.g. for octeon-exts-3.c before the combiner change on (insn 2 4 3 2 (set (reg/v:DI 196 [ i+-4 ]) (reg:DI 4 $4 [ i+-4 ])) "octeon-exts-3.c":34:1 312 {*movdi_64bit} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DI 4 $4 [ i+-4 ]) (nil))) (insn 6 3 7 2 (set (reg:SI 198) (ashift:SI (subreg/s/u:SI (reg/v:DI 196 [ i+-4 ]) 4) (const_int 4 [0x4]))) "octeon-exts-3.c":35:13 444 {*ashlsi3} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/v:DI 196 [ i+-4 ]) (nil))) (insn 7 6 13 2 (set (reg:SI 197) (ashiftrt:SI (reg:SI 198) (const_int 24 [0x18]))) "octeon-exts-3.c":35:19 445 {*ashrsi3} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 198) (nil))) (insn 13 7 14 2 (set (reg/i:DI 2 $2) (sign_extend:DI (reg:SI 197))) "octeon-exts-3.c":36:1 236 {extendsidi2} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 197) (nil))) there was: Trying 2 -> 6: Successfully matched this instruction: (set (reg:SI 199 [ D.1424 ]) (ashift:SI (reg:SI 4 $4 [ i ]) (const_int 4 [0x4]))) Trying 6 -> 7: Successfully matched this instruction: (set (reg:SI 198 [ D.1424 ]) (sign_extract:SI (reg:SI 4 $4 [ i ]) (const_int 8 [0x8]) (const_int 20 [0x14]))) but after the combiner change the hard regs aren't propagated into the instructions anymore, so we end up with: Trying 2 -> 6: Successfully matched this instruction: (set (reg:SI 198) (ashift:SI (subreg:SI (reg:DI 200) 4) (const_int 4 [0x4]))) Trying 6 -> 7: Failed to match this instruction: (set (reg:SI 197) (ashiftrt:SI (truncate:SI (ashift:DI (reg:DI 200) (const_int 4 [0x4]))) (const_int 24 [0x18]))) So, I'd say adding define_insn_and_split which would handle the above pattern from the failed match, i.e. ashiftrt with truncate of ashift and split it into a sign_extract of the lowpart subreg, then it would succeed again.
