Bug ID: 104059 Summary: cprop_hardreg propgates hard registers for mov instructions between different REG_CLASS without considering cost Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: crazylht at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- int test (uint8_t *p, uint32_t t[1][1], int n) { int sum = 0; uint32_t a0; for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++, p++) t[i][0] = p[0]; for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { { int t0 = t[0][i] + t[0][i]; a0 = t0; }; sum += a0; } return (((uint16_t)sum) + ((uint32_t)sum >> 16)) >> 1; } testcase is from PR104049, for x86 with -O3 -mavx2 ,before cprop_hardregs it's ----before cprop_hardreg------ (insn 100 79 81 2 (set (reg:SI 1 dx [orig:90 stmp__9.14 ] [90]) (reg:SI 20 xmm0 [114])) 81 {*movsi_internal} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 20 xmm0 [114]) (nil))) (debug_insn 81 100 96 2 (debug_marker) "/app/example.cpp":16:3 -1 (nil)) (insn 96 81 82 2 (set (reg:SI 0 ax [116]) (reg:SI 1 dx [orig:90 stmp__9.14 ] [90])) "/app/example.cpp":16:44 81 {*movsi_internal} (nil)) ---end------------ ------after cprop_hardreg-------- (insn 100 79 81 2 (set (reg:SI 1 dx [orig:90 stmp__9.14 ] [90]) (reg:SI 20 xmm0 [114])) 81 {*movsi_internal} (nil)) (debug_insn 81 100 96 2 (debug_marker) "/app/example.cpp":16:3 -1 (nil)) (insn 96 81 82 2 (set (reg:SI 0 ax [116]) (reg:SI 20 xmm0 [orig:90 stmp__9.14 ] [90])) "/app/example.cpp":16:44 81 {*movsi_internal} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 20 xmm0 [orig:90 stmp__9.14 ] [90]) (nil))) ------end-------------- it's vmovd edx, xmm0 movl eax, edx vs vmovd edx, xmm0 vmovd eax, xmm0 vmovd is expensive for many x86 targets.
