--- Comment #1 from Stefan Schulze Frielinghaus <stefansf at gcc dot gnu.org> --- For example, for function vesrlf_ge from vcond-shift.c we do not end up with vl %v2,0(%r2),3 vl %v0,16(%r2),3 lgr %r1,%r2 vesrlf %v4,%v2,31 vesrlf %v6,%v0,31 vst %v4,0(%r1),3 vst %v6,16(%r1),3 br %r14 anymore but vl %v0,0(%r2),3 vl %v4,16(%r2),3 vgmf %v6,31,31 vzero %v2 vesraf %v1,%v0,31 vesraf %v3,%v4,31 vsel %v5,%v6,%v2,%v1 vsel %v7,%v6,%v2,%v3 lgr %r1,%r2 vst %v5,0(%r1),3 vst %v7,16(%r1),3 br %r14 During a vcond expand we optimized x < 0 ? 1 : 0 into x >> 31 which we fail to do, now. Doing it late in combine fails, too, since we never come up with a combination of insn 7, 8, 9, and 10: (insn 7 6 8 2 (set (reg:V4SI 69 [ mask__5.8_4 ]) (ashiftrt:V4SI (reg:V4SI 68 [ MEM <vector(4) int> [(int *)xx_10] ]) (const_int 31 [0x1f]))) "vcond-shift.c":155:28 905 {*ashrv4si3} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:V4SI 68 [ MEM <vector(4) int> [(int *)xx_10] ]) (nil))) (insn 8 7 9 2 (set (reg:V4SI 70) (const_vector:V4SI [ (const_int 1 [0x1]) repeated x4 ])) 410 {movv4si} (nil)) (insn 9 8 10 2 (set (reg:V4SI 71) (const_vector:V4SI [ (const_int 0 [0]) repeated x4 ])) 410 {movv4si} (nil)) (insn 10 9 11 2 (set (reg:V4SI 62 [ vect_patt_18.9 ]) (if_then_else:V4SI (eq (reg:V4SI 69 [ mask__5.8_4 ]) (const_vector:V4SI [ (const_int 0 [0]) repeated x4 ])) (reg:V4SI 71) (reg:V4SI 70))) 1265 {*vec_sel0v4si} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:V4SI 69 [ mask__5.8_4 ]) (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (if_then_else:V4SI (eq (reg:V4SI 69 [ mask__5.8_4 ]) (const_vector:V4SI [ (const_int 0 [0]) repeated x4 ])) (const_vector:V4SI [ (const_int 0 [0]) repeated x4 ]) (const_vector:V4SI [ (const_int 1 [0x1]) repeated x4 ])) (nil)))) So maybe this is something for match.pd?
