Yes, it is possible. What you need to do is to write a split which turns the mult:DI insn into an insn which sets two separate subregs. The values for the two subregs will be written as shifts and truncates of the mult:DI; see, e.g., <s>mul<mode>3_highpart in i386.md. If you do that, then with luck the second lower subreg pass will be able to pull apart the values, and IRA will allocate them independently. You want to write it as a split so that the RTL CSE and combine passes see the mult:DI, in case they can do anything with it. Ian
