Yeah, I should have kept better notes... This didn't show up on SVE
itself, but was something I tripped over while doing the before-and-after
comparison of assembly output on other targets. A later patch in the
SVE series removes:
if (size == 0)
size = GET_MODE_SIZE (mode);
on the basis that if a meaningful mode size was available, the caller
would have passed it in as the size parameter. However, that tripped
over the fact that, when the mode was BLKmode, we would treat the size
of 0 literally. This in turn meant that that later patch caused minor
codegen changes on other targets.
Thanks,
Richard
