GCC modified for the FreeChainXenon project
![]() As recently remarked by Jeff Law, SUBREGs are the "forever chemicals" of GCC's RTL; once created they persist in the environment. The problem, according to the comment on lines 5428-5438 of combine.c is that non-tieable SUBREGs interfere with reload/register allocation, so combine often doesn't touch/clean-up instructions containing a SUBREG. This is the first and simplest of two patches to tackle that problem, by teaching combine to avoid converting explicit TRUNCATEs into SUBREGs that it can't handle. Consider the following (hypothetical) sequence of instructions on a STORE_FLAG_VALUE=1 target, which stores a zero or one in an SI register, then uselessly truncates to QImode, then extends it again. (set (reg:SI 27) (ne:SI (reg:BI 28) (const_int 0))) (set (reg:QI 26) (truncate:QI (reg:SI 27))) (set (reg:SI 0) (zero_extend:SI (reg:QI 26))) which ideally (i.e. with this patch) combine would simplify to: (set (reg:SI 0) (ne:SI (reg:BI 28) (const_int 0))) Alas currently, during combine the middle TRUNCATE is converted into a lowpart SUBREG, which subst then turns into (clobber (const_int 0)), abandoning the attempted combination, that then never reaches recog. 2021-08-31 Roger Sayle <roger@nextmovesoftware.com> gcc/ChangeLog * combine.c (combine_simplify_rtx): Avoid converting an explicit TRUNCATE into a lowpart SUBREG on !TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION targets. * simplify-rtx.c (simplify_unary_operation_1): Likewise. |

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.
