num_sign_bit_copies() eventually calls
combine.c::reg_num_sign_bit_copies_for_combine()
which returns const0_rtx because reg 18 is set in insn 43 to const0_rtx.
Total outcome is that the right shift of reg:DI 18 is transformed to a
no-op move and cancelled out in the remainder.
Why does num_sign_bit_copies return something bigger than 8?
Because it thinks the last value was const0_rtx (which is incorrect) and hence
thinks a shift of a reg that's always 0 is the same as a no-op move of the reg
to itself.
The problem might be that get_last_value() is called for reg:DI 18 and
combine's internal bookkeeping is incorrect
struct reg_stat_type {
/* Record last point of death of (hard or pseudo) register n. */
rtx_insn *last_death;
/* Record last point of modification of (hard or pseudo) register n. */
rtx_insn *last_set;
.last_set is the set for reg:QI 18 but later insns also change hard reg:DI 18,
for example the set of reg:QI 19. This means that the information in
reg_stat_type does not tell the whole story for hard regs.
One fix could be to get the mode precision of the SET from the last_set insn
and only use the information if that mode is at least as wide as the mode of
the register for which get_last_value is called. reg_stat_type has
.last_set_mode for this purpose (QImode in the test case).
IIUC get_last_value should return 0 in this case?
/* If we don't have a value, or if it isn't for this basic block and
it's either a hard register, set more than once, or it's a live
at the beginning of the function, return 0.
We do have a value, and it is for this bb.
But not for the complete hard register; it's only for reg:QI 18 which is one
byte of reg:DI 18, thus the code should never reach this point in the first
place and return earlier. For example:
