[Bug c/23422] New: Sign extension removed even when inline assembly uses variable

[anton at samba dot org]

When using the recent debian 4.0 build (gcc version 4.0.2 20050806 (prerelease)
(Debian 4.0.1-4)) I had some problems with a 64bit kernel.

A cut down test case is:

#define BUG_ON(x) asm volatile("tdnei %0,0" : : "r" (x));

static inline int bar(int val)
{
        return val + 1;
}

int foo;

void baz()
{
        BUG_ON(bar(foo));
}

gcc 3.4 sign extends before passing it to the inline assembly:

.baz:
        ld 11,[EMAIL PROTECTED](2)
        lwa 9,0(11)
        addi 9,9,1
        extsw 9,9
        tdnei 9,0

But gcc 4.0 has removed the sign extension:

.baz:
        ld 11,[EMAIL PROTECTED](2)
        lwz 9,0(11)
        addi 9,9,1
        tdnei 9,0

gcc 4.0 does get it right with -fno-inline.
