This reduced testcase seems to be fixed in GCC 11+, maybe r11-209 (https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2020-May/545442.html). The original testcase did fix on mov issue. But __asm__("\t mov %q[w], (%q[d])\n" // write : "=m" (*d) : [d] "r" (d), [w] "r" (w)) ; __asm__("\t lea 8(%q[d]), %q[d]\n" : [d] "+r" (d)) ; Still causes an extra move to happen. Note there was one improvement in GCC 11 in the original testcase too. I think TWITCH difference is due to the way register variables are represented in gimple ...
