Lu <hjl.tools at gmail dot com> --- The bug was introduced by https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2007-09/msg00613.html commit 5d93234932c3d8617ce92b77b7013ef6bede9508 Author: shinwell <shinwell@138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4> Date: Thu Sep 20 11:01:18 2007 +0000 gcc/ * combine.c: Include cgraph.h. (setup_incoming_promotions): Rework to allow more aggressive elimination of sign extensions when all call sites of the current function are known to lie within the current unit. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk@128618 138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4 Before this commit, combine.c has enum machine_mode mode = TYPE_MODE (TREE_TYPE (arg)); int uns = TYPE_UNSIGNED (TREE_TYPE (arg)); mode = promote_mode (TREE_TYPE (arg), mode, &uns, 1); if (mode == GET_MODE (reg) && mode != DECL_MODE (arg)) { rtx x; x = gen_rtx_CLOBBER (DECL_MODE (arg), const0_rtx); x = gen_rtx_fmt_e ((uns ? ZERO_EXTEND : SIGN_EXTEND), mode, x); record_value_for_reg (reg, first, x); } It matches function.c: /* This is not really promoting for a call. However we need to be consistent with assign_parm_find_data_types and expand_expr_real_1. */ promoted_nominal_mode = promote_mode (data->nominal_type, data->nominal_mode, &unsignedp, 1); 128618 changed mode = promote_mode (TREE_TYPE (arg), mode, &uns, 1); to mode3 = promote_mode (DECL_ARG_TYPE (arg), mode2, &uns3, 1); It breaks none WORD_REGISTER_OPERATIONS targets.
