--- Comment #1 from Alexandre Oliva <aoliva at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-03-25 12:00:34 UTC --- The bug, duplicated by compiling attachment 26150, from bug 43437 comment 16, with a cross-compiler to m68k-elf with -O -c, exposes a reload problem. Before reload, we have this insn: (insn 288 287 290 40 (set (reg/f:SI 124 [ D.1788 ]) (mem/f:SI (post_inc:SI (reg:SI 145 [ ivtmp.76 ])) [5 MEM[base: D.1889_285, offset: 0B]+0 S4 A16])) pr52306.c:278 37 {*movsi_m68k2} (expr_list:REG_INC (reg:SI 145 [ ivtmp.76 ]) (nil))) reload turns this into: (insn 639 287 640 40 (set (reg:SI 9 %a1) (mem/c:SI (plus:SI (reg/f:SI 14 %a6) (const_int -44 [0xffffffffffffffd4])) [13 %sfp+-44 S4 A16])) pr5 2306.c:278 36 {*movsi_m68k} (nil)) (insn 640 639 288 40 (set (mem/c:SI (plus:SI (reg/f:SI 14 %a6) (const_int -44 [0xffffffffffffffd4])) [13 %sfp+-44 S4 A16]) (plus:SI (mem/c:SI (plus:SI (reg/f:SI 14 %a6) (const_int -44 [0xffffffffffffffd4])) [13 %sfp+-44 S4 A16]) (const_int 4 [0x4]))) pr52306.c:278 132 {*addsi3_internal} (nil)) (insn 288 640 290 40 (set (reg:SI 9 %a1) (mem/f:SI (post_inc:SI (reg:SI 9 %a1)) [5 MEM[base: D.1889_285, offset: 0B]+0 S4 A16])) pr52306.c:278 37 {*movsi_m68k2} (expr_list:REG_INC (reg:SI 9 %a1) (nil))) reload correctly performs the post_inc in a separate insn, but it fails to remove the post_inc from the MEM that had it, so we end up with two concurrent modifications of the same register, which is not well-formed RTX.
