Bug ID: 107601
Summary: Change SLOW_BYTE_ACCESS into
WIDEN_MODE_ACCESS_BITFIELD target hook
Product: gcc
Version: 13.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: internal-improvement, missed-optimization
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: middle-end
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
This comes up every few years even. The name SLOW_BYTE_ACCESS and documentation
is confusing even and does not describe what it does.
I found that HJL proposed a decent naming target macro back in 2006 which I
will be using as a basis going forward.
HJL's patch

Wilco Dijkstra's patch which just removes SLOW_BYTE_ACCESS

This is part of my bit-field lowering work too.
