Hi, This patch permits CSE to add REG_EQUAL notes when single setting a constant to a register even if REG_EQUAL constant rtx is the same as the set source rtx. This enables optimizations in later passes looking for REG_EQUAL notes, like jump2 pass.
For example, in arm testcase pr43920-2.c, CSE previously decided not to put an "obvious" note on insn 9, as set value was the same as note value. At the same time, other insns set up as -1 were set up through a register and did get a note: (insn 9 53 34 8 (set (reg:SI 110 [ D.4934 ]) (const_int -1 [0xffffffffffffffff])) /work/src/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/pr43920-2.c:21 613 {*thumb2_movsi_vfp} (nil)) (insn 8 45 50 6 (set (reg:SI 110 [ D.4934 ]) (reg/v:SI 111 [ startD.4917 ])) /work/src/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/pr43920-2.c:21 613 {*thumb2_movsi_vfp} (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (const_int -1 [0xffffffffffffffff]) (nil))) (insn 6 49 54 7 (set (reg:SI 110 [ D.4934 ]) (reg/v:SI 112 [ endD.4918 ])) /work/src/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/arm/pr43920-2.c:21 613 {*thumb2_movsi_vfp} (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (const_int -1 [0xffffffffffffffff]) (nil))) Jump2 pass, optimizing common code, was looking at notes to reason about register values and failing to recognize those insns to be equal. Making CSE to set up REG_EQUAL notes even in "obvious" cases fixes pr43920-2.c for arm-none-eabi and other targets. I prefer adding notes in CSE instead of adding additional checks in Jump2 and, if any, other passes, as I think it is more uniform solution and allows single point fix. Downside is having more notes. Done full regression run on arm-none-eabi and bootstrapped on x86.
