--- Comment #5 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Uros Bizjak <u...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:9ff206d3865df5cb8407490aa9481029beac087f commit r12-6173-g9ff206d3865df5cb8407490aa9481029beac087f Author: Uros Bizjak <ubiz...@gmail.com> Date: Sun Jan 2 21:12:10 2022 +0100 i386: Introduce V2QImode vectorized arithmetic [PR103861] This patch adds basic V2QImode infrastructure and V2QImode arithmetic operations (plus, minus and neg). The patched compiler can emit SSE vectorized QImode operations (e.g. PADDB) with partial QImode vector, and also synthesized double HI/LO QImode operations with integer registers. The testcase: typedef char __v2qi __attribute__ ((__vector_size__ (2))); __v2qi plus (__v2qi a, __v2qi b) { return a + b; }; compiles with -O2 to: movl %edi, %edx movl %esi, %eax addb %sil, %dl addb %ah, %dh movl %edx, %eax ret which is much better than what the unpatched compiler produces: movl %edi, %eax movl %esi, %edx xorl %ecx, %ecx movb %dil, %cl movsbl %dh, %edx movsbl %ah, %eax addl %edx, %eax addb %sil, %cl movb %al, %ch movl %ecx, %eax ret The V2QImode vectorization does not require vector registers, so it can be enabled by default also for 32-bit targets without SSE. The patch also enables vectorized V2QImode sign/zero extends. 2021-12-30 Uroš Bizjak <ubiz...@gmail.com> gcc/ChangeLog: PR target/103861 * config/i386/i386.h (VALID_SSE2_REG_MODE): Add V2QImode.
