Hi,
Although I kept my previous "use_register_for_decl(lhs)” to decide “memset”
expansion or “assign” expansion when expanding .DEFERRED_INIT
When generating “pattern” for “assign” expansion, I found that
“can_native_interpret_type_p(var_type)” combined with “native_interpret_expr”
make
the implementation cleaner and simpler as following:
if (init_type == AUTO_INIT_PATTERN)
{
if (can_native_interpret_type_p (var_type))
{
unsigned char *buf = (unsigned char *) xmalloc (total_bytes);
memset (buf, INIT_PATTERN_VALUE, total_bytes);
pattern = native_interpret_expr (var_type, buf, total_bytes);
gcc_assert (pattern);
}
else
{
tree index_type = build_index_type (size_int (total_bytes - 1));
tree array_type = build_array_type (unsigned_char_type_node,
index_type);
tree element = build_int_cst (unsigned_char_type_node,
INIT_PATTERN_VALUE);
vec<constructor_elt, va_gc> *elts = NULL;
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < total_bytes; i++)
CONSTRUCTOR_APPEND_ELT (elts, NULL_TREE, element);
pattern = build_constructor (array_type, elts);
pattern = build1 (VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR, var_type, pattern);
}
}
Thanks.
