[RFC PATCH 1/3] Misaligned top level MEM_REFs on LHS of assignments

[Martin Jambor]

Hi,

the first patch in the series deals with plain MEM_REFs on LHS of
assignments to handle situations such as the testcase which currently
fails on strict alignment platforms (the array and the loop are there
to cross a cache line on ia64 so that it fails there too).

This patch piggy-backs on already existing code for generating
movmisalign operation if available, and deals with the store by
calling store_bit_field if it is not but it would be a
SLOW_UNALIGNED_ACCESS.

I have added !mem_ref_refers_to_non_mem_p (to) to the condition
guarding both of these paths because without it I encountered
testsuite failures within expand_expr when the MEM_REF address
argument was expanded into something else than memory.  This call is
common for both movmisalign_optab and store_bit_field paths so I
believe it is necessary on both but so far I did not come up with a
testcase in which it would fail with movmisalign.

Thanks,

Martin

        * expr.c (expand_assignment): Handle misaligned scalar writes to
        memory through top-level MEM_REFs by calling store_bit_field.

        * testsuite/gcc.dg/misaligned-expand-2.c: New test.
