--- Comment #21 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Uros Bizjak <u...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:b37351e3279d192d5d4682f002abe5b2e133bba6 commit r12-4359-gb37351e3279d192d5d4682f002abe5b2e133bba6 Author: Uros Bizjak <ubiz...@gmail.com> Date: Tue Oct 12 18:20:38 2021 +0200 i386: Improve workaround for PR82524 LRA limitation [PR85730] As explained in PR82524, LRA is not able to reload strict_low_part inout operand with matched input operand. The patch introduces a workaround, where we allow LRA to generate an instruction with non-matched input operand which is split post reload to an instruction that inserts non-matched input operand to an inout operand and the instruction that uses matched operand. The generated code improves from: movsbl %dil, %edx movl %edi, %eax sall $3, %edx movb %dl, %al to: movl %edi, %eax movb %dil, %al salb $3, %al which is still not optimal, but the code is one instruction shorter and does not use a temporary register. 2021-10-12 Uroš Bizjak <ubiz...@gmail.com> gcc/ PR target/85730 PR target/82524 * config/i386/i386.md (*add<mode>_1_slp): Rewrite as define_insn_and_split pattern.
