[Bug rtl-optimization/34522] New: bad code for long long multiply when only low bits are needed

[bonzini at gnu dot org]

For

int test(long long a, long long b)
{
        return a * b;
}

GCC generates a widening multiply, and cannot remove the DImode operations
until after register allocation.  This causes unnecessary splits.

This could be fixed on the tree level by folding to (int)a * (int)b, or
alternatively in expand.

expand_expr is called with

 <mult_expr 0x2aaaae9032c0
    type <integer_type 0x2aaaae937840 long long int DI>
    arg 0 <parm_decl 0x2aaaae92d2d0 b type <integer_type 0x2aaaae937840 long
long int>>
    arg 1 <parm_decl 0x2aaaae92d240 a type <integer_type 0x2aaaae937840 long
long int>>>

and tmode SImode, still enough info to choose a better multiply.  However,
tmode is not passed on to expand_mult.
