In RTL level, it is difficult to reverse the optimization. In our 3.4.6 -based porting, the GCC actually generates the latter code. How to avoid CSE under such situation? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
You are probably not defining the ADDRESS_COST or (if you have no ADDRESS_COST hook at all) the RTX_COSTS hook properly. Addressing mode selection is done at RTL-level. In 4.2.1 the RTL CSE pass will undo the CSE (yes, I know it's confusing!...) if the hooks are implemented properly; in 4.3.0 it will be fwprop who does the CSE undoing.
