Ok, whatever i tried to do didn't work properly. So i am trying to
implement the way you have suggested.
In define_expand for movhi i have the following code to generate
double word pseudo-reg.
.....
rtx dword,base,reg;
HOST_WIDE_INT offset;
offset = INTVAL(XEXP(XEXP(mem_op, 0), 1));
siwrd = gen_reg_rtx (SImode);
base = simplify_gen_subreg (HImode, dword, SImode, 0);
reg = simplify_gen_subreg (HImode, dword, SImode, 2);
if (GET_CODE (operands[0]) == MEM)
{
operands[0] = gen_rtx_MEM (Pmode, plus_constant (base, offset));
operands[1] = reg;
}
else if (GET_CODE (operands[1]) == MEM)
{
operands[1] = gen_rtx_MEM (Pmode, plus_constant (base, offset));
operands[0] = reg;
}
I hope i am doing correctly.

I have defined a constraint for all the registers. But i am not sure
as how to use them
in the pattern.
[(set (match_operand:HI 0 "register_operand" "=r")
(match_operand:HI 1 "memory_operand" "m"))]
I have to add the constraints along with 'm' and 'r'. But the new
constraints are suppose to
indicate the register that has to be used. So i have defined
REG_CLASS_FROM_CONSTRAINT
macro to return the reg class of a particular constraint. But i am not
sure how this can be used
with a memory operand. Should i be defining EXTRA_MEMORY_CONSTRAINT?
Can i directly use the register constraints for a memory operand?
Thanks for your time.
