Ah, indeed, we don't have a modifier that would print the high register
of a register pair (i.e. essentially print REGNO (x) + 1 instead of REGNO
(x)), guess that might be useful not just for 64-bit GPR operands in 32-bit
code, but also 128-bit GPR operands in 64-bit code.
While looking at ix86_print_operand, I've noticed duplication in the
comment:
w -- print the operand as if it's a "word" (HImode) even if it isn't.
s -- print a shift double count, followed by the assemblers argument
delimiter.
b -- print the QImode name of the register for the indicated operand.
%b0 would print %al if operands[0] is reg 0.
w -- likewise, print the HImode name of the register.
k -- likewise, print the SImode name of the register.
q -- likewise, print the DImode name of the register.
x -- likewise, print the V4SFmode name of the register.
t -- likewise, print the V8SFmode name of the register.
g -- likewise, print the V16SFmode name of the register.
w is documented twice, guess the first line should be removed.
