--- Comment #20 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-13 branch has been updated by hongtao Liu <liuho...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:27165633859bdf92589428213edfeccdb49b7d83 commit r13-7956-g27165633859bdf92589428213edfeccdb49b7d83 Author: liuhongt <hongtao....@intel.com> Date: Wed Jul 5 13:45:11 2023 +0800 Disparage slightly for the alternative which move DFmode between SSE_REGS and GENERAL_REGS. For testcase void __cond_swap(double* __x, double* __y) { bool __r = (*__x < *__y); auto __tmp = __r ? *__x : *__y; *__y = __r ? *__y : *__x; *__x = __tmp; } GCC-14 with -O2 and -march=x86-64 options generates the following code: __cond_swap(double*, double*): movsd xmm1, QWORD PTR [rdi] movsd xmm0, QWORD PTR [rsi] comisd xmm0, xmm1 jbe .L2 movq rax, xmm1 movapd xmm1, xmm0 movq xmm0, rax .L2: movsd QWORD PTR [rsi], xmm1 movsd QWORD PTR [rdi], xmm0 ret rax is used to save and restore DFmode value. In RA both GENERAL_REGS and SSE_REGS cost zero since we didn't disparage the alternative in movdf_internal pattern, according to register allocation order, GENERAL_REGS is allocated. The patch add ? for alternative (r,v) and (v,r) just like we did for movsf/hf/bf_internal pattern, after that we get optimal RA. __cond_swap: .LFB0: .cfi_startproc movsd (%rdi), %xmm1 movsd (%rsi), %xmm0 comisd %xmm1, %xmm0 jbe .L2 movapd %xmm1, %xmm2 movapd %xmm0, %xmm1 movapd %xmm2, %xmm0 .L2: movsd %xmm1, (%rsi) movsd %xmm0, (%rdi) ret gcc/ChangeLog: PR target/110170 * config/i386/i386.md (movdf_internal): Disparage slightly for 2 alternatives (r,v) and (v,r) by adding constraint modifier '?'. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.target/i386/pr110170-3.c: New test.
