Hi, This patch cleans up pre-checkings of expand_block_compare. It does 1. Assert only P7 above can enter this function as it's already guard by the expand. 2. Remove P7 processor test as only P7 above can enter this function and P7 LE is excluded by targetm.slow_unaligned_access. On P7 BE, the performance of expand is better than the performance of library when the length is long.
Compared to last version, https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-December/640833.html the main change is to split optimization for size to a separate patch and add a testcase for P7 BE. Bootstrapped and tested on x86 and powerpc64-linux BE and LE with no regressions. Is this OK for trunk? Thanks Gui Haochen ChangeLog rs6000: Clean up the pre-checkings of expand_block_compare Remove P7 CPU test as only P7 above can enter this function and P7 LE is excluded by the checking of targetm.slow_unaligned_access on word_mode. Also performance test shows the expand of block compare is better than library on P7 BE when the length is from 16 bytes to 64 bytes. gcc/ * gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000-string.cc (expand_block_compare): Assert only P7 above can enter this function.
