Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|WAITING |UNCONFIRMED Component|target |rtl-optimization Ever confirmed|1 |0 --- Comment #4 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Expand does: ;; _1 = *src_5(D); (insn 7 6 0 (set (reg:SI 134 [ _1 ]) (zero_extend:SI (mem:QI (reg/v/f:SI 138 [ srcD.2336 ]) [0 MEM[(const uint8_tD.2311 *)src_5(D) clique 1 base 1]+0 S1 A8]))) "/app/example.cpp":5:21 -1 (nil)) ;; work_6 = ~_1; (insn 8 7 9 (set (reg:SI 139) (not:SI (reg:SI 134 [ _1 ]))) "/app/example.cpp":5:13 -1 (nil)) (insn 9 8 0 (set (reg/v:SI 136 [ workD.2339 ]) (zero_extend:SI (subreg:QI (reg:SI 139) 0))) "/app/example.cpp":5:13 -1 (nil)) The bigger issue we don't take into track of nonzerobits as much as we could. Though the other issue when combine does the combining here: Trying 7, 8 -> 9: 7: r134:SI=zero_extend([r148:SI]) REG_DEAD r148:SI 8: r139:SI=~r134:SI REG_DEAD r134:SI 9: r136:SI=zero_extend(r139:SI#0) REG_DEAD r139:SI Failed to match this instruction: (set (reg/v:SI 136 [ workD.2339 ]) (zero_extend:SI (subreg:QI (not:SI (subreg:SI (mem:QI (reg:SI 148) [0 MEM[(const uint8_tD.2311 *)src_5(D) clique 1 base 1]+0 S1 A8]) 0)) 0))) that could be just (xor (zero_extend:SI (mem:QI (reg:SI 148) [0 MEM[(const uint8_tD.2311 *)src_5(D) clique 1 base 1]+0 S1 A8]) 0))) 255) But I am not so sure combine knows how to simplify that ...
