FWIW, in general you shouldn't use subregs in expanders, but instead use
something like:
(define_expand "zero_extendhisi2"
[(set (match_operand:SI 0 "general_operand" "")
(zero_extend:SI (match_operand:HI 1 "general_operand" "")))]
""
{
emit_move_insn (gen_lowpart (HImode, operands[0]), operands[1]);
emit_move_insn (gen_highpart (HImode, operands[0]), const0_rtx);
DONE;
})
This allows MEMs to be simplified to smaller MEMs, which is preferable
to keeping them as SUBREGs. It also allows subregs of hard registers
to be simplified to simple REGs and handles constants correctly.
IMO SUBREGs of MEMs should go away. There's this strange convention
that (subreg (mem ...)) is treated as a register_operand before reload,
which is why:
if( !register_operand( operands[0], <MODE>mode )
&& !register_operand( operands[1], <MODE>mode ))
{
/* one of the operands must be in a register. */
operands[1] = copy_to_mode_reg (<MODE>mode, operands[1]);
}
wouldn't trigger for a move between a constant and a subreg of a MEM.
OTOH, you should be better off not defining the zero_extendhisi2 at all,
since IIRC the target-independent optabs code would generate the same
sequence for you.
