The gcc.target/i386/prefetchi-4.c testcase ICEs for me on i686-linux.
Can be reproduced even on x86_64, with:
./cc1 -quiet -m32 -march=pentiumpro prefetchi-4.c -isystem include/
during RTL pass: expand
prefetchi-4.c: In function ‘prefetch_test’:

The ICE is on
gcc_assert (TARGET_3DNOW);
operands[2] = GEN_INT (3);
The expander has
"TARGET_3DNOW || TARGET_PREFETCH_SSE || TARGET_PRFCHW || TARGET_PREFETCHWT1"
condition and for write handles all those different ISAs, so gcc_assert
(TARGET_3DNOW);
at the end only asserts the obvious that the expander condition had to be
satisfied. But for !write, it only has:
if (TARGET_PREFETCH_SSE)
;
else
{
gcc_assert (TARGET_3DNOW);
operands[2] = GEN_INT (3);
}
and here I don't understand how it can work, because if
!TARGET_3DNOW && !TARGET_PREFETCH_SSE, but
TARGET_PRFCHW || TARGET_PREFETCHWT1
then it clearly ICEs. Both of the latter ISAs can be enabled/disabled
individually without dependencies.
It is unclear what exactly changed though, because the prefetch pattern
has not changed, but it didn't ICE before that commit.
