Register-register move instructions that can be easily seen as unnecessary by the human eye may remain in the compiled result. For example:
/* example */ double test(double a, double b) { return __builtin_copysign(a, b); } test: add.n a3, a3, a3 extui a5, a5, 31, 1 ssai 1 ;; be in the same BB src a7, a5, a3 ;; No '0' in the source constraints ;; No CALL insns in this span ;; Both A3 and A7 are irrelevant to ;; insns in this span mov.n a3, a7 ;; An unnecessary reg-reg move ;; A7 is not used after this ret.n The last two instructions above, excluding the return instruction, could be done like this: src a3, a5, a3 This symptom often occurs when handling DI/DFmode values with SImode instructions. This patch solves the above problem using peephole2 pattern. gcc/ChangeLog: * config/xtensa/xtensa.md: New peephole2 pattern that eliminates the occurrence of genral-purpose register used only once and for transferring intermediate value. --- gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa.md | 44 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+) diff --git a/gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa.md b/gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa.md index 61bbad8e4..1b53c8c9e 100644 --- a/gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa.md +++ b/gcc/config/xtensa/xtensa.md @@ -3089,3 +3089,47 @@ FALLTHRU:; df_insn_rescan (insnR); set_insn_deleted (insnP); }) + +(define_peephole2 + [(set (match_operand 0 "register_operand") + (match_operand 1 "register_operand"))] + "GET_MODE_SIZE (GET_MODE (operands[0])) == 4 + && GET_MODE_SIZE (GET_MODE (operands[1])) == 4 + && GP_REG_P (REGNO (operands[0])) && GP_REG_P (REGNO (operands[1])) + && peep2_reg_dead_p (1, operands[1])" + [(const_int 0)] +{ + basic_block bb = BLOCK_FOR_INSN (curr_insn); + rtx dest = operands[0], src = operands[1], pattern, t_dest; + rtx_insn *insn; + int i; + for (insn = PREV_INSN (curr_insn); + insn && BLOCK_FOR_INSN (insn) == bb; + insn = PREV_INSN (insn)) + if (CALL_P (insn)) + break; + else if (INSN_P (insn)) + { + if (GET_CODE (pattern = PATTERN (insn)) == SET + && REG_P (t_dest = SET_DEST (pattern)) + && GET_MODE_SIZE (GET_MODE (t_dest)) == 4 + && REGNO (t_dest) == REGNO (src) + && !
