Hello! Attached patch removes unneeded *extvqi sign-extract pattern. Combine is smart enough to create zero-extract RTX in case QImode value is extracted to QImode register.
OTOH, the following testcase --cut here-- struct S1 { char pad1; char val; short pad2; }; struct S1 test_add (struct S1 a, struct S1 b) { a.val += b.val; return a; } --cut here-- still compiles to: movl %edi, %eax movl %esi, %ecx movsbl %ah, %edx movsbl %ch, %esi addl %esi, %edx movb %dl, %ah since combine doesn't simplify sign-extract in: Trying 7, 9 -> 10: Failed to match this instruction: (set (zero_extract:SI (reg/v:SI 95 [ a ]) (const_int 8 [0x8]) (const_int 8 [0x8])) (subreg:SI (plus:QI (subreg:QI (sign_extract:SI (reg/v:SI 95 [ a ]) (const_int 8 [0x8]) (const_int 8 [0x8])) 0) (reg:QI 98)) 0)) to a zero-extract, although we have QImode operation. This should follow the same reasoning as in the attached testcase, where: (insn 8 4 9 2 (set (reg:SI 91) (sign_extract:SI (reg/v:SI 88 [ a ]) (const_int 8 [0x8]) (const_int 8 [0x8]))) "pr78904-6.c":18 102 {*extvsi} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/v:SI 88 [ a ]) (nil))) (insn 9 8 0 2 (set (mem/j:QI (plus:DI (reg/v:DI 89 [ i ]) (symbol_ref:DI ("t") [flags 0x40] <var_decl 0x7f9e35cd4e10 t>)) [0 t S1 A8]) (subreg:QI (reg:SI 91) 0)) "pr78904-6.c":18 84 {*movqi_internal} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 91) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/v:DI 89 [ i ]) (nil)))) simplifies to Trying 8 -> 9: Successfully matched this instruction: (set (mem/j:QI (plus:DI (reg/v:DI 89 [ i ]) (symbol_ref:DI ("t") [flags 0x40] <var_decl 0x7f9e35cd4e10 t>)) [0 t S1 A8]) (subreg:QI (zero_extract:SI (reg/v:SI 88 [ a ]) (const_int 8 [0x8]) (const_int 8 [0x8])) 0)) I'll open a PR for the above combine deficiency. 2016-12-29 Uros Bizjak <ubiz...@gmail.com> PR target/78904 * config/i386/i386.md (*extvqi): Remove insn pattern.
