Then to some extent defining WORD_REGISTER_OPERATIONS on SPARC is a lie,
it only has "INT_REGISTER_OPERATIONS", i.e. all operations smaller than
int are performed on the whole register, int operations can be really done
in SImode in the IL (no need to sign/zero extend anything to DImode, if you
just ignore the high 32 bits).
Guess easiest would be to add some targetm constant or hook that gives
you bit precision - integral arithmetics smaller than this precision is
performed in precision. Then define it by default to
#ifdef WORD_REGISTER_OPERATIONS
BITS_PER_WORD
#else
BITS_PER_UNIT
#endif
and for sparc set to 32, then use this targetm constant or hook in
internal-fn.c instead of WORD_REGISTER_OPERATIONS and BITS_PER_WORD.
