Jim, This version of the VLE support patch is an improvement, although I still am troubled by the number of changes to rs6000.md.
And can you suggest any way to re-factor rs6000_rtx_costs()? Andrew suggested placing all of the patterns in vle.md independently and without my prompting. VLE really is more of a separate architecture that happens to share some similarities and mnemonics with PowerPC, not a variant of PowerPC. I agree with Andrew that the cleanup portions of the patch should be sent separately. I also am continuing to work with Mike Meissner on the target flags patch, which will affect this patch. Thanks, David
