I understand the non-native 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 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr100637-1b.C -std=gnu++14 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqb 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr100637-1b.C -std=gnu++17 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqb 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr100637-1b.C -std=gnu++20 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqb 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr100637-1b.C -std=gnu++98 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqb 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr100637-1w.C -std=gnu++14 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqw 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr100637-1w.C -std=gnu++17 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqw 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr100637-1w.C -std=gnu++20 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqw 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr100637-1w.C -std=gnu++98 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqw 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr103861-1.C -std=gnu++14 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqb 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr103861-1.C -std=gnu++17 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqb 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr103861-1.C -std=gnu++20 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqb 2 FAIL: g++.target/i386/pr103861-1.C -std=gnu++98 scan-assembler-times pcmpeqb 2 FAIL: gcc.target/i386/pr88540.c scan-assembler minpd
