RTL expansion of substitution to [DS]Cmode hard register includes obstructive register clobber.
A simplest example: double _Complex test(double _Complex c) { return c; } will be converted to: (set (reg:DF 42 [ c ]) (reg:DF 2 a2)) (set (reg:DF 43 [ c+8 ]) (reg:DF 4 a4)) (clobber (reg:DC 2 a2)) (set (reg:DF 2 a2) (reg:DF 42 [ c ])) (set (reg:DF 4 a4) (reg:DF 43 [ c+8 ])) (use (reg:DC 2 a2)) (return) and then finally: test: mov a8, a2 mov a9, a3 mov a6, a4 mov a7, a5 mov a2, a8 mov a3, a9 mov a4, a6 mov a5, a7 ret As you see, it is so ridiculous. This patch eliminates such clobber in order to prune away the wasted move instructions by the optimizer: test: ret gcc/ChangeLog: * config/xtensa/xtensa.md (DSC): New split pattern and mode iterator. --- gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa.md | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 28 insertions(+) diff --git a/gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa.md b/gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa.md index e6f5594762f..3b3be5f8436 100644 --- a/gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa.md +++ b/gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa.md @@ -86,6 +86,10 @@ ;; This code iterator is for *shlrd and its variants.
