In gcc/combine.cc
I have written a pattern to emit a complex rtl instruction which uses 'and' 'shift' 'lshiftrt' and 'or' in a single pattern.But pattern not recognised as single pattern.I changed the cost of this instruction to 0.Still pattern is not generated. How can I check if the instruction works or not? I have checked the output in files generated in fdump-rtl-all . Wish to know how combiner.cc works. dump_combine_total_stats (FILE *file) { fprintf (file, "\n;; Combiner totals: %d attempts, %d substitutions (%d requiring new space),\n;; %d successes.\n", total_attempts, total_merges, total_extras, total_successes); } In my case the pattern is not generated as well not compared . -- Richu Norman Research Scholar Department of Computer Science Cochin University of Science and Technology Ph : (+91)-8848455627
