Do you mean that the TYPE returned by “lang_hooks.type_for_mode(TYPE_MODE
(TREE_TYPE (lhs))” will always satisfy “can_native_interpret_type_p”?
Even for big structure types?
i.e,
tree var_type = TREE_TYPE(lhs);
tree pattern = NULL_TREE;
unsigned HOST_WIDE_INT total_bytes
= tree_to_uhwi (TYPE_SIZE_UNIT (var_type));
If (use_register_for_decl(lhs)==false)
{
tree alt_type = lang_hooks.type_for_mode(TYPE_MODE(var_type),
TYPE_UNSIGNED(var_type);
If (can_native_interpret_type_p (alt_type))
{
unsigned char *buf = (unsigned char *) xmalloc (total_bytes);
memset (buf, INIT_PATTERN_VALUE, total_bytes);
pattern = native_interpret_expr (alt_type, buf, total_bytes);
gcc_assert (pattern);
}
else
gcc_unreachable ();
}
?
Don’t quite understand here. Please clarify.

What’s the <reg_type> in the above? The type “alt_type” returned by
“lang_hooks.type_for_mode(TREE_TYPE(lhs))?
Do I need to build “MODIFY_EXPR” for the above?
lhs = build1 (VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR, alt_type, lhs);
tree final = build2 (MODIFY_EXPR, TREE_TYPE (alt_type), lhs, pattern);
Then how to expand this”final"?

You mean that the current RTL expansion will automatically expand LHS to memset
route or assignment route based on whether
LHS is a REG_P or MEM_P? I don’t need to explicitly code for
“expand_builtin_memset” or “expand_assign”?

Don’t understand here, so, I need more coding on the RTL expansing for what
part?
