Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply. No, unfortunately there isn’t an existing test case which shows this ICE. I'm in the process of trying to recreate and distil into a small test case if possible, but the error was encountered whilst building a rather large app using microblaze linux. From the documentation though we can see that the use of comparison_operator as the predicate for these Microblaze insn patterns is too broad, as fcmp only accepts the following; http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx14_7/mb_ref_guide.pdf fcmp.un rD, rA, rB Unordered floating point comparison fcmp.lt rD, rA, rB Less-than floating point comparison fcmp.eq rD, rA, rB Equal floating point comparison fcmp.le rD, rA, rB Less-or-Equal floating point comparison fcmp.gt rD, rA, rB Greater-than floating point comparison fcmp.ne rD, rA, rB Not-Equal floating point comparison fcmp.ge rD, rA, rB Greater-or-Equal floating point comparison From gcc/gensupport.c we see that the comparison_operator predicate consists of the following expression codes; EQ, NE, LE, LT, GE, GT, LEU, LTU, GEU, GTU, UNORDERED, ORDERED, UNEQ, UNGE, UNGT, UNLE, UNLT, LTGT Whereas ordered_comparison_operator has; EQ, NE, LE, LT, GE, GT, LEU, LTU, GEU, GTU (microblaze.c's print_operand handles the unordered comparison modes before passing to fcmp) The GCC Internals documentation also highlights that ordered_comparison_operator should likely be used to restrict the possible comparison modes; http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Standard-Names.html ‘cstoremode4’ These operations may FAIL, but should do so only in relatively uncommon cases; if they would FAIL for common cases involving integer comparisons, it is best to restrict the predicates to not allow these operands. Likewise if a given comparison operator will always fail, independent of the operands (for floating-point modes, the ordered_comparison_operator predicate is often useful in this case). > > Changelog entries saying "fix XYZ" are not as useful as a description > of the changes made.
