--- Comment #6 from Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Trying to understand why rejection happens: -fdump-rtl-all-slim 295r.reload says: Choosing alt 0 in insn 12: (0) =r (1) %0 (2) rI08 {*addsi3_compact_lra} alt=0: No input/output reload -- refuse ... 12: r15:SI=r15:SI-0x4 I'm surprised the same (hard) reg is used in source and destination in insn 12. *addsi3_compact_lra hints at special assumptions about it: ;; The *addsi3_compact is made an insn_and_split and accepts actually ;; impossible constraints to make LRA's register elimination work well on SH. ;; The problem is that LRA expects something like ;; (set rA (plus rB (const_int N))) ;; to work. We can do that, but we have to split out an additional reg-reg ;; copy or constant load before the actual add insn. ;; Use u constraint for that case to avoid the invalid value in the stack ;; pointer. ;; This also results in better code when LRA is not used. However, we have ;; to use different sets of patterns and the order of these patterns is ;; important. ;; In some cases the constant zero might end up in operands[2] of the ;; patterns. We have to accept that and convert it into a reg-reg move.
