Bug ID: 113858
Summary: `ldr s0/h0/b0` should be used to zero extend into the
full register
Product: gcc
Version: 14.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: missed-optimization
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Target: aarch64-*-*
Take:
```
A couple more:
```
#define vect128 __attribute__((vector_size(16) ))
#define vect64 __attribute__((vector_size(8) ))
vect64 int i64l( int *a)
{
return (vect64 int){*a, 0};
}
vect64 short s64l( short *a)
{
return (vect64 short ){*a, 0};
}
vect128 int i128l( int *a)
{
return (vect128 int){*a, 0};
}
vect64 unsigned char c64l( unsigned char *a)
{
return (vect64 unsigned char){*a, 0};
}
```
Currently only i64l is implemented using `ldr s0` but the rest could be
implemented similarly.
Note LLVM is able to optimize this which is why I filed this seperately from PR
113857 .
