Where were you seeing the requirement for pointer equality? genrecog.cc at least uses rtx_equal_p, and I think it has to. E.g. some patterns use (match_dup ...) to match output and input mems, and mem rtxes shouldn't be shared. I'd always understood using matching constraints against other inputs to be a no-no, since the RA doesn't (and can't reasonably be expected to) make two non-identical inputs match. So AIUI, using "1" won't lead to different code generation compared to "r". Both are relying on the RA happening to do the right thing. But "1" would presumably trigger an ICE if something goes wrong.
