Hi all, We can use the X registers to load and store 64-bit vector modes, we just need to add the alternatives to the mov patterns. This straightforward patch does that and for the pair variants too. For the testcase in the code we now generate the optimal assembly without any superfluous GP<->SIMD moves.
Bootstrapped and tested on aarch64-none-linux-gnu and aarch64_be-none-elf. Pushing to trunk. Thanks, Kyrill gcc/ChangeLog: * config/aarch64/aarch64-simd.md (*aarch64_simd_mov<VDMOV:mode>): Add =r,m and =r,m alternatives. (load_pair<DREG:mode><DREG2:mode>): Likewise. (vec_store_pair<DREG:mode><DREG2:mode>): Likewise. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.target/aarch64/xreg-vec-modes_1.c: New test.
