--- Comment #2 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
We have xchg patterns in i386.md and corresponding peephole. I used to play
with this long time ago and it was not giving any of performance benefits
becuase xchg at that time was not well optimized in CPUs.
With regstack the main problem is that RTL after reg-stack is inconsistent
since we have no way to explicitly express push/pop operations that renumber
the registers. Some years ago I made patch for that
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/1999-November/021921.html
Even if you make representation correct register allocation for stack based CPU
is quite different from normal registr allocation.
These days I would more like to see x87 to silently die.
