The make_field_assignment code: src = force_to_mode (src, mode, GET_MODE_PRECISION (mode) >= HOST_BITS_PER_WIDE_INT ? HOST_WIDE_INT_M1U : (HOST_WIDE_INT_1U << len) - 1, 0);
would ignore the field length len for DImode, even though DImode can be handled using HWIs. I think the code should be testing len instead. The patch was originally part of the SVE machine_mode series. Retesting showed that it changed the asm output on powerpc for a few tests, so I thought it should go in separately. Each test change seemed to be an improvement. Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu. I no longer have access to the compile farm to test on the powerpc boxes there.
