I suspect it'll also apply more often if you're looking for the nop-conversion rather than looking at range information.

I keep thinking there ought to be a generalization here so that we're not so restrictive on the modes, but it's probably not worth doing.

In a perfect world we'd also integrate the other strategies for double-word shifts that exist in the various ports as special cases in expansion and remove the double-word shift patterns for ports that don't actually have them in hardware. But that's probably a bit much to ask -- however, it probably couldn't hurt to see if there are any that are easily handled.



   * For the pseudo register overlaping issue, given:

       RTX target = TREE source << TREE amount

     I was trying to make sure those two SSA_NAME won't get the same
     pseudo register by comparing their assigned partition using
     var_to_partition, but I can't get the associated tree representation
     for "target" which is RTX.

     Then I just expand "source" and compare the register number with
     "target".
Right. Which is what I would have suggested. Given two pseudos, you can just compare them for equality. If they're unequal, then its safe to assume they do not overlap.


     But I found the simplest way maybe just reorder

       low_part (target) = low_part (source) << amount
       high_part (target) = low_part (source) >> amount1

     to:

       high_part (target) = low_part (source) >> amount1
       low_part (target) = low_part (source) << amount

     then, even target and source share the same pseudo register, we can
     still get what we want, as we are operating on their subreg.
Yes.  This would work too and avoids the need to find source's pseudo.


   * Added checking on the result value of expand_variable_shift, if it's
     not the same as "target" then call emit_move_insn to do that.
Excellent.


   How is the re-worked patch looks to you?

   x86 bootstrap OK, regression OK. aarch64 bootstrap OK.

+          If mode == GET_MODE_WIDER_MODE (word_mode), then normally there isn't
+          native instruction to support this wide mode left shift.  Given below
+          example:
+
+           Type A = (Type) B  << C
+
+            |<           T      >|

+
+                         |<- size  ->|
+
+          By checking tree shape, if operand B is coming from signed extension,
+          then the left shift operand can be simplified into:
+
+             1. high = low >> (size - C);
+             2. low = low << C;
You'll want to reorder those to match the code you generate.

Doesn't this require that C be less than the bitsize of a word?

If C is larger than the bitsize of a word, then you need some adjustments, something like:


              1. high = low << (C - size)
              2. low = 0

Does this transformation require that the wider mode be exactly 2X the narrower mode? If so, that needs to be verified.

+               if (GET_MODE_SIZE (rmode) < GET_MODE_SIZE (mode)
So we're assured we have a widening conversion.

+                   && ((TREE_INT_CST_LOW (treeop1) + GET_MODE_BITSIZE (rmode))
+                       >= GET_MODE_BITSIZE (word_mode)))
This test seems wrong. I'm not sure what you're really trying to test here. It seems you want to look at the shift count relative to the bitsize of word_mode. If it's less, then generate the code you mentioned above in the comment. If it's more, then generate the sequence I referenced? Right?

I do think you need to be verifying that rmode == wordmode here. If I understand everything correctly, the final value is "mode" which must be 2X the size size of rmode/wordmode here, right?



The other question is are we endianness-safe in these transformations?

Why use "code" here right than just using LSHIFT_EXPR?  As noted earlier,
