------- Comment #25 from astrange at ithinksw dot com 2008-03-19 19:39 ------- Actually the first generates- subl $12, %esp movq _w, %mm0 paddw %mm0, %mm0 movq %mm0, _w movq _w, %mm0 movq %mm0, _dw addl $12, %esp ret
which is better than the code in the original report but still has a useless store/reload. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14552
