If I'm reading it right, the patch only calls this function on i2 and
i3, which are known to be rtx_insn *, rather than just rtx.
Hence the only way in which GET_CODE (x) can be SET is if the INSN_P
pattern test sets x to PATTERN (x) immediately above: it can't be a SET
otherwise - but this isn't obvious from the code.
Can this function take an rtx_insn * instead? Maybe something like:
/* Return whether INSN's pattern is just a single set, with the source
a general_operand. */
static bool
is_just_move_p (rtx_insn *insn)
{
if (!INSN_P (insn))
return false;
rtx x = PATTERN (insn);
return (GET_CODE (x) == SET && general_operand (SET_SRC (x), VOIDmode));
}
or similar?

Thanks; I hope this is constructive.
