Thanks Richard for the explanation. I just want to double confirm I
understand you correctly before I attempt to fix it. So let me try this
for the following example,

for a gimple stmt of the following from:
unsigned short _5;
short int _6;
_6 = (short int)_5;

;; _6 = (short int) _5;
target = (subreg/s/u:HI (reg:SI 110 [ D.4144 ]) 0)
temp = (subreg:HI (reg:SI 118) 0)

So, I must generate the following if it satisfies the other conditions.
(set (reg:SI 110 [ D.4144 ]) (subreg:SI temp ))

Is my understanding correct?

What I tried doing with the patch is:

(insn 13 12 0 (set (reg:SI 110 [ D.4144 ])
        (zero_extend:SI (subreg:HI (reg:SI 118) 0))) c5.c:8 -1
     (nil))

If the values in register (reg:SI 118) fits HI mode (without
overflowing), I assume that it is not necessary to just drop the higher
bits and zero_extend as done above and generate the following instead.

(insn 13 12 0 (set (reg:SI 110 [ D.4144 ])
        (((reg:SI 118) 0))) c5.c:8 -1
     (nil))

is_assigned_exp_fit_type just checks if the range fits (in the above
case, the value in eg:SI 118 fits HI mode) and the checks before
emit_move_insn (SUBREG_REG (target), SUBREG_REG (temp)); checks the
modes match.

Is this wrong  or am I missing the whole point?
