Richard Sandiford <rsandifo at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |rsandifo at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #8 from Richard Sandiford <rsandifo at gcc dot gnu.org> --- When it comes to avoiding things for correctness reasons, I think the key should be TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION rather than mode_rep_extended. mode_rep_extended was added later to provide optimisation information about what the upper bits are guaranteed to contain, but in principle, the upper bits might not be a simple sign or zero extension even when TRULY_NOOP_TRUNCATION is false.
