Hi, The avr backend has this define_insn_and_split
(define_insn_and_split "*tablejump_split" [(set (pc) (unspec:HI [(match_operand:HI 0 "register_operand" "!z,*r,z")] UNSPEC_INDEX_JMP)) (use (label_ref (match_operand 1 "" ""))) (clobber (match_dup 0)) (clobber (const_int 0))] "!AVR_HAVE_EIJMP_EICALL" "#" "&& reload_completed" [(parallel [(set (pc) (unspec:HI [(match_dup 0)] UNSPEC_INDEX_JMP)) (use (label_ref (match_dup 1))) (clobber (match_dup 0)) (clobber (const_int 0)) (clobber (reg:CC REG_CC))])] "" [(set_attr "isa" "rjmp,rjmp,jmp")]) Note the (clobber (match_dup 0)). When building $ avr-gcc -mmcu=avr51 gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/compile/930120-1.c -O3 -funroll-loops -fdump-rtl-all The web pass transforms this insn from (jump_insn 120 538 124 25 (parallel [ (set (pc) (unspec:HI [ (reg:HI 138) ] UNSPEC_INDEX_JMP)) (use (label_ref 121)) (clobber (reg:HI 138)) (clobber (const_int 0 [0])) ]) "gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/compile/930120-1.c":55:5 779 {*tablejump_split} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:HI 138) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:HI 138) (nil))) -> 121) to Web oldreg=138 newreg=279 Updating insn 120 (138->279) <snip> (jump_insn 120 538 124 25 (parallel [ (set (pc) (unspec:HI [ (reg:HI 138) ] UNSPEC_INDEX_JMP)) (use (label_ref 121)) (clobber (reg:HI 279)) (clobber (const_int 0 [0])) ]) "gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/compile/930120-1.c":55:5 779 {*tablejump_split} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:HI 138) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:HI 138) (nil))) -> 121) Note the reg in the clobber is now 279, and not 138. With classic reload, however, this gets set back to whatever hardreg was assigned to r138. (jump_insn 120 538 121 26 (parallel [ (set (pc) (unspec:HI [ (reg/f:HI 30 r30 [138]) ] UNSPEC_INDEX_JMP)) (use (label_ref 121)) (clobber (reg/f:HI 30 r30 [138])) (clobber (const_int 0 [0])) ]) "gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/compile/930120-1.c":55:5 779 {*tablejump_split} (nil) -> 121) With LRA, however, the pseudo reg remains unassigned, eventually causing an ICE in cselib_invalidate_regno. (jump_insn 120 538 121 26 (parallel [ (set (pc) (unspec:HI [ (reg/f:HI 30 r30 [138]) ] UNSPEC_INDEX_JMP)) (use (label_ref 121)) (clobber (reg:HI 279)) (clobber (const_int 0 [0])) ]) "gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/compile/930120-1.c":55:5 779 {*tablejump_split} (nil) -> 121) Is this something that LRA should be able to fix? Making operand 0 read/write in define_insn_and_split prevents the web pass from creating a new pseudo for the clobber, avoiding the whole problem. (define_insn_and_split "*tablejump_split" [(set (pc) (unspec:HI [(match_operand:HI 0 "register_operand" "+!z,*r,z")] UNSPEC_INDEX_JMP)) (use (label_ref (match_operand 1 "" ""))) (clobber (match_dup 0)) (clobber (const_int 0))] "!AVR_HAVE_EIJMP_EICALL" "#" "&& reload_completed" [(parallel [(set (pc) (unspec:HI [(match_dup 0)] UNSPEC_INDEX_JMP)) (use (label_ref (match_dup 1))) (clobber (match_dup 0)) (clobber (const_int 0)) (clobber (reg:CC REG_CC))])] "" [(set_attr "isa" "rjmp,rjmp,jmp")]) However, https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Side-Effects.html has this to say for clobber "There is one other known use for clobbering a pseudo register in a parallel: when one of the input operands of the insn is also clobbered by the insn. In this case, using the same pseudo register in the clobber and elsewhere in the insn produces the expected results." so I'm not sure if that's the right way to fix it. I could add a matching constraint (i.e "=0,0,0"), but until reload runs, the clobber reg would be different from input reg, so that seems wrong to me too. Any ideas? Regards Senthil
