Combine uses define_split in very different circumstances than it uses define_insn. In this case, define_split will only do anything if the "nabs" is combined from three insns, while a define_insn handles it being combined from two as well. A define_split will be split during combine (and combine can then work on its factors); a define_insn is only split _after_ combine. Segher
