Hi, These patches are just minor changes based on previous version/comments. https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-February/611286.html https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-June/620489.html And also update the wording for patches in this series.
For a given constant, it would be profitable if we can use 2 insns to build. This patch enables more constants building through 2 insns: one is "li or lis", another is 'rldicl, rldicr or rldic'. Through checking and analyzing the characters of the insns "li/lis;rldicX", all the possible constant values are considered by this patch. The below patches are in this series. Considering the functionality and size, 4 patches are split as below: 1. Support the constants which can be built by "li;rotldi" Both positive and negative values from insn "li" are analyzed. 2. Support the constants which can be built by "lis;rotldi" We only need to analyze the negative value from "lis". And this patch uses more code to check leading 1s and tailing 0s from "lis". 3. Support the constants which can be built by "li/lis;rldicl/rldicr": Leverage the APIs defined/analyzed in patches 1 and 2, this patch checks the characters for the mask of "rldicl/rldicr" to support more constants. 4. Support the constants which can be built by "li/lis;rldic": The mask of "rldic" is relatively complicated, it is analyzed in this patch to support more constants. BR, Jeff (Jiufu)
