          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization

endianess-aware reading / writing macros

gcc (r221432) is able to recognize the following code and implements it with
either a bswap or a straight load on x86.

    #include <stdint.h>

    extern uint32_t
    rbe32(const uint8_t a[4])
    {
        uint32_t x = 0;

        x |= a[0] << 24;
        x |= a[1] << 16;
        x |= a[2] <<  8;
        x |= a[3] <<  0;

        return x;
    }

    extern uint32_t
    rle32(const uint8_t a[4])
    {
        uint32_t x = 0;

        x |= a[0] <<  0;
        x |= a[1] <<  8;
        x |= a[2] << 16;
        x |= a[3] << 24;

        return x;
    }

it isn't able to recognize the following two functions which yield identical
results:

    extern uint32_t
    rle32(const uint8_t a[4])
    {
        int i;
        uint32_t x = 0;

        for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
                x |= a[i] << 8 * i;

        return x;
    }

    extern uint32_t
    rbe32(const uint8_t a[4])
    {
        int i;
        uint32_t x = 0;

        for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
                x |= a[i] << 8 * (3 - i);

        return x;
    }

It would be great if gcc was able to recognize these implementations of
endianess-aware reads; this kind of code is produced by macros I use to
generate a bunch of read / write functions for differently sized types.
Attached is a file containing the macros I want to use.
