--- Comment #8 from Stefan Schulze Frielinghaus <stefansf at linux dot ibm.com> --- Pass split2 transforms (insn 218 222 114 15 (set (reg/v:TI 10 %r10 [orig:87 a ] [87]) (reg/v:TI 18 %f4 [orig:87 a ] [87])) 1466 {movti} (nil)) into (insn 234 222 235 15 (set (reg:DI 10 %r10 [ a ]) (reg:DI 18 %f4)) 1467 {*movdi_64} (nil)) (insn 235 234 114 15 (set (reg:DI 11 %r11 [orig:87 a+8 ] [87]) (unspec:DI [ (reg:V2DI 18 %f4) (const_int 1 [0x1]) ] UNSPEC_VEC_EXTRACT)) 495 {*vec_extractv2di} (nil)) which is then transformed by cprop_hardreg into (insn 234 222 235 14 (set (reg:DI 10 %r10 [ a ]) (reg:DI 11 %r11 [18])) 1467 {*movdi_64} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:DI 11 %r11 [18]) (nil))) (insn 235 234 114 14 (set (reg:DI 11 %r11 [orig:87 a+8 ] [87]) (unspec:DI [ (reg:V2DI 18 %f4) (const_int 1 [0x1]) ] UNSPEC_VEC_EXTRACT)) 495 {*vec_extractv2di} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:V2DI 18 %f4) (nil))) where in insn 234 register f4 is substituted by r11 which is wrong. This can also be observed in the final assembler output: vlvgp %v4,%r10,%r11 l %r2,12(%r1) ahi %r2,-1 st %r2,12(%r1) cijhe %r2,0,.L13 lgr %r10,%r11 // (*) vlgvg %r11,%v4,1 Registers r10 and r11 are moved into v4. The inverse move from v4 into r10 and r11 is broken since cprop_hardreg wrongly substitutes f4 by r11. Thus the expected output for (*) is: lgdr %r10,%f4
