So I guess the code can be removed and the comment be moved there at the very least but I'd prefer people from one of the affected target to test it. Looking for backend that define SHORT_IMMEDIATES_SIGN_EXTEND, that would be someone interested in alpha, frv, lm32, m32r, mep, mips, rs6000, rx, sh, tilegx or tilepro. Best regards, Thomas
