Hi, this patch adds slightly more simplification in try_combine(), under -fexpensive-optimizations, by calling subst() to both i2 and i1. Supplied is an ARM testcase where this resulted in one less redundant ZERO_EXTEND insn under ARMv6 and above.
Bootstrapped and tested on i686 and x86_64, cross-tested on ARM-Linux using QEMU, all with no regressions. Okay for trunk? Thanks, Chung-Lin 2011-03-16 Chung-Lin Tang <clt...@codesourcery.com> * combine.c (try_combine): Do simplification only call of subst() on i2 even when i1 is present. Update comments. testsuite/ * gcc.target/arm/unsigned-extend-1.c: New testcase.
