http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-01/msg01835.html changed the code I'm tweaking here to use DFmode subregs when loading a TFmode constant into regs for e500. This just extends that change to all rs6000 targets, the simplest fix I found for PR52107, a problem I discovered when looking at powerpc64-linux libgcc.
If we leave these constant loads as DImode, here's what happens at various stages of rtl optimisation: .expand (insn 7 6 8 (set (reg:DI 35 3) (mem/u/c:DI (unspec:DI [ (symbol_ref/u:DI ("*.LC1") [flags 0x2]) (reg:DI 2 2) ] UNSPEC_TOCREL) [5 S8 A8])) /src/tmp/floatconst.c:10 -1 (nil)) .cse1 (insn 7 6 8 2 (set (reg:DI 35 3) (const_int 4318952042648305664 [0x3bf0000000000000])) /src/tmp/floatconst.c:10 401 {*movdi_internal64} (nil)) .split1 (insn 21 3 22 2 (set (reg:DI 35 3) (mem/u/c:DI (unspec:DI [ (symbol_ref/u:DI ("*.LC3") [flags 0x2]) (reg:DI 2 2) ] UNSPEC_TOCREL) [5 S8 A8])) /src/tmp/floatconst.c:10 -1 (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (const_int 1005584384 [0x3bf00000]) (nil))) (insn 22 21 8 2 (set (reg:DI 35 3) (ashift:DI (reg:DI 35 3) (const_int 32 [0x20]))) /src/tmp/floatconst.c:10 -1 (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (const_int 4318952042648305664 [0x3bf0000000000000]) (nil))) It would also be possible to fix this in the rs6000.md movdi splitter dealing with large constants, at least for this testcase when we know we are dealing with a hard float reg. However, I think it's better not to generate DImode fp values in the first place. Bootstrapped and regression tested powerpc64-linux. OK to apply everywhere?
