Bug #: 55025 Summary: reg_nonzero_bits_for_combine/get_last_value: missing mode check for hardware registers Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.6.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: rtl-optimization AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: aurelien.buhrig....@gmail.com Created attachment 28511 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=28511 patch This bug occurs with gcc 4.6.3 for a private backend (big endian), but should occurs on trunk. The testcase is pr27364.c, compiled with -Os. In the following RTL, the hardware register (reg:HI r2), whose natural mode is HImode, is set to 0, but when combining insn 12 and insn 13 insn (during combine pass), the (reg:SI r2) is computed to be equivalent to (const_int 0), which is wrong (it is (reg:HI r2) which is (const_int 0)). (insn 51 9 52 3 (set (reg:HI 2 r2) (const_int 0 [0])) gcc.c-torture/execute/pr27364.c:5 18 {*movhi1} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:HI 31) (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (const_int 0 [0]) (nil)))) (insn 52 51 12 3 (set (reg:HI 3 r3 [orig:2+2 ] [2]) (reg/v:HI 20 [ number_of_digits_to_use ])) gcc.c-torture/execute/pr27364.c:5 18 {*movhi1} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/v:HI 20 [ number_of_digits_to_use ]) (nil))) (insn 12 52 13 3 (set (reg:SI 0 r0) (const_int 3321928 [0x32b048])) gcc.c-torture/execute/pr27364.c:5 19 {movsi} (nil)) (insn 13 12 16 3 (parallel [ (set (reg:SI 0 r0) (mult:SI (reg:SI 2 r2) (reg:SI 0 r0))) (clobber (reg:SI 2 r2)) ]) gcc.c-torture/execute/pr27364.c:5 54 {*mulsi3_call} (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (mult:SI (reg:SI 2 r2) (const_int 3321928 [0x32b048])) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:HI 3 r3) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:SI 2 r2) (nil))))) The problem comes from a missing mode check in both reg_nonzero_bits_for_combine and get_last_value. See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2012-10/msg00263.html for more information. Note that the problem in get_last_value has already been reported (bug 49884). The attached patch fixes the issue in gcc-4.6.3. Not yet boostraped on trunk.
