I have tried this approach with attached patch. Unfortunately, although it survived bootstrap without libjava on x86_64, it failed building libjava with: /home/uros/gcc-svn/trunk/libjava/classpath/javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicSliderUI.java:1299:0: error: insn does not satisfy its constraints: } ^ (insn 237 398 399 7 (set (reg:SI 1 dx [125]) (plus:SI (subreg:SI (mult:DI (reg:DI 1 dx [orig:72 D.78627 ] [72]) (const_int 2 [0x2])) 0) (reg:SI 5 di))) /home/uros/gcc-svn/trunk/libjava/classpath/javax/swing/plaf/basic/BasicSliderUI.java:1271 240 {*leasi} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DI 5 di) (nil))) Original RTX was (subreg:SI (plus:DI (mult:DI (...) reg:DI))), which is valid RTX pattern for lea insn, the above is not. Due to these problems, I think the safer approach is to limit the transformation to (plus:SI (subreg:SI (plus:DI (...) 0)) RTXes, as was the case with original patch. This approach would fix a specific problem where simplify_plus_minus is not able to simplify the combined RTX at combine time. Please note, that combined RTXes are always checked for correctness at combine pass. Uros.
