I agree with Richi's concern, a bytes swap can be eliminated if the
bytes swapped result is known as before, one typical case is the vector
constant with predicate const_vector_each_byte_same, we can do some
optimization for that.

The orig_dest is untouched and keep the original alignment. The subsequent insns which use orig_dest are not affected. I am not sure if it causes ripple-down effects. Do you mean the dest might be reused later? But I think the alignment is different even though the mode and offset is the same. Looking forward to your advice. Thanks Gui Haochen

but the alignment is now wrong which might cause ripple-down
wrong-code effects, no?
It's probably bad to hide the byte-swapping in the move patterns (I'm
just guessing
you do that)

[Patch, rs6000] Eliminate unnecessary byte swaps for block clear on P8 LE [PR113325]
Hi,
This patch eliminates unnecessary byte swaps for block clear on P8
LE. For block clear, all the bytes are set to zero. The byte order
doesn't make sense. So the alignment of destination could be set to
the store mode size in stead of 1 byte in order to eliminates
unnecessary byte swap instructions on P8 LE. The test case shows the
problem.
Bootstrapped and tested on x86 and powerpc64-linux BE and LE with no
regressions. Is this OK for trunk?
Thanks
