--- Comment #15 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I was thinking of improving this is modify noce_get_condition here (we still need the previous patch just in case we still get the T register). Right now noce_get_condition will stop at: (eq (reg:SI 147 t) (const_int 0 [0])) Because of: /* If the condition variable is a register and is MODE_INT, accept it. */ cond = XEXP (SET_SRC (set), 0); tmp = XEXP (cond, 0); if (REG_P (tmp) && GET_MODE_CLASS (GET_MODE (tmp)) == MODE_INT && (GET_MODE (tmp) != BImode || !targetm.small_register_classes_for_mode_p (BImode))) But since 147 is a hard register but maybe since it is hard register and REGNO_REG_CLASS (147) == T_REGS and the register class of T_REGS is only one register so consider a small register class. This I think is related to the option 2 in comment #3.
