The prefixed instructions do not support the update form of the memory instruction (i.e. internally this is addresses using PRE_INC, PRE_DEC, or PRE_MODIFY).
Can I check this into the FSF trunk? 2019-11-14 Michael Meissner <meiss...@linux.ibm.com> * gcc.target/powerpc/prefix-premodify.c: New test to make sure we do not generate PRE_INC, PRE_DEC, or PRE_MODIFY on prefixed loads or stores. --- /tmp/LMc94y_prefix-premodify.c 2019-11-13 17:41:36.037020850 -0500 +++ gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/powerpc/prefix-premodify.c 2019-11-13 17:41:35.807018779 -0500 @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +/* { dg-do compile } */ +/* { dg-require-effective-target powerpc_prefixed_addr_ok } */ +/* { dg-options "-O2 -mdejagnu-cpu=future" } */ + +/* Make sure that we don't try to generate a prefixed form of the load and + store with update instructions. */ + +#ifndef SIZE +#define SIZE 50000 +#endif + +struct foo { + unsigned int field; + char pad[SIZE]; +}; + +struct foo *inc_load (struct foo *p, unsigned int *q) +{ + *q = (++p)->field; + return p; +} + +struct foo *dec_load (struct foo *p, unsigned int *q) +{ + *q = (--p)->field; + return p; +} + +struct foo *inc_store (struct foo *p, unsigned int *q) +{ + (++p)->field = *q; + return p; +} + +struct foo *dec_store (struct foo *p, unsigned int *q) +{ + (--p)->field = *q; + return p; +} + +/* { dg-final { scan-assembler-times {\mpli\M|\mpla\M|\mpaddi\M} 4 } } */ +/* { dg-final { scan-assembler-times {\mplwz\M} 2 } } */ +/* { dg-final { scan-assembler-times {\mpstw\M} 2 } } */ +/* { dg-final { scan-assembler-not {\mp?lwzu\M} } } */ +/* { dg-final { scan-assembler-not {\mp?stwzu\M} } } */ +/* { dg-final { scan-assembler-not {\maddis\M} } } */ +/* { dg-final { scan-assembler-not {\maddi\M} } } */ -- Michael Meissner, IBM IBM, M/S 2506R, 550 King Street, Littleton, MA 01460-6245, USA email: meiss...@linux.ibm.com, phone: +1 (978) 899-4797
