------- Comment #7 from bergner at vnet dot ibm dot com 2006-09-05 20:01 ------- Well, to get REG_POINTER regs to be the first operand, we'd need to increase their commutative_operand_precedence. I tried that change already, but that led to an infinite recursion loop while attempting to simplify the rtl. As you said, the current ordering seems to be relied upon by the code for simplifications.
My rs6000_legitimize_address change is still running through the testsuite. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28690
