Bug ID: 87033 Summary: The compiler does not generate the LWAX instruction Product: gcc Version: 9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: meissner at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 44566 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=44566&action=edit Simple test case to show the bug The compiler does not generate LWAX instruction to load up a 32-bit integer value and sign extend it to 64-bits. This is due to the constraint for extendsi<mode>2 for the LWA being just 'Y' (offset addressing using DS mode instruction format) and it should be 'YZ'.
