OK, I'll focus on those.
THe more likely scenario is xmpy which is used for integer multiply, 
but the operands have to be moved into FP registers because the 
operation happens in the FPU.

There are lots of xmpyu instructions in cc1 and cc1plus.  For example,

   9fee8c:   08 03 02 5c copy r3,ret0

There are 2169 xmpyu instructions in cc1plus in my current gcc bootstrap 
on linux.




Yea, and as I said, it'll likely work for quite a while until you get 
spills in just the right scenario.  We ran bootstraps, OS builds (our 
BSD and Mach systems), spec89, spec92, etc.  Eventually it breaks :(

That work goes back to the early 90s when I was primarily responsible 
for the PA platform.  But the core issue hasn't changed in that not 
enough context is provided for reload to know how to deal with these 
problems.


So, digging out those testcases/codes would be quite difficult; at the 
time we didn't have standard procedures where tests were added to the 
testsuite for most changes or even discussed.






I'm not seeing any obvious problems in the gcc testsuite.  It needs testing on 
packages that do extensive

 hppa: Revise REG+D address support to allow long displacements before 
 reload

 In analyzing PR rtl-optimization/112415, I realized that restricting
 REG+D offsets to 5-bits before reload results in very poor code and
 complexities in optimizing these instructions after reload.  The
 general problem is long displacements are not allowed for floating
 point accesses when generating PA 1.1 code.  Even with PA 2.0, there
 is a ELF linker bug that prevents using long displacements for
 floating point loads and stores.

 In the past, enabling long displacements before reload caused issues
 in reload.  However, there have been fixes in the handling of reloads
 for floating-point accesses.  This change allows long displacements
 before reload and corrects a couple of issues in the constraint
 handling for integer and floating-point accesses.

I might hack in an option for local testing so I can quickly check
with/without...

Yeah, happy to do that. We haven't got GCC 14 deployed in the wild, but
we have it available for people who want to test and opt-in to it.
