Yes, I have a patch which can fix most regressions via pattern match in
combine.
Still there is a situation that is difficult to deal with, mainly the
optimization w/o sse4.1 . Because pblendvb/blendvps/blendvpd only exists under
sse4.1, w/o sse4.1, it takes 3 instructions (pand,pandn,por) to simulate the
vcond_mask, and the combine matches up to 4 instructions, which makes it
currently impossible to use the combine to recover those optimizations in the
vcond{,u,eq}.i.e min/max.
In the case of sse 4.1 and above, there is basically no regression anymore.


the regression testcases w/o sse4.1
