--- Comment #6 from Uroš Bizjak <ubizjak at gmail dot com> --- I think that we should disallow tie of TImode with 128bit vector modes due to different alignment requirements. Integer register pairs can load unaligned TImode without problems, while unaligned TImode will crash SSE insns. Following patch fixes the problem: Index: config/i386/i386.c =================================================================== --- config/i386/i386.c (revision 205509) +++ config/i386/i386.c (working copy) @@ -35237,6 +35237,7 @@ ix86_modes_tieable_p (enum machine_mode mode1, enu return (GET_MODE_SIZE (mode1) == 32 && ix86_hard_regno_mode_ok (FIRST_SSE_REG, mode1)); if (GET_MODE_SIZE (mode2) == 16 + && !(mode1 == TImode || mode2 == TImode) && ix86_hard_regno_mode_ok (FIRST_SSE_REG, mode2)) return (GET_MODE_SIZE (mode1) == 16 && ix86_hard_regno_mode_ok (FIRST_SSE_REG, mode1)); However, it needs some refinements for AVX.
