Since GCC10, the "subreg2" optimization pass was no longer tied to enabling "subreg1" unless -fsplit-wide-types-early was turned on (PR88233). However on the Xtensa port, the lack of "subreg2" can degrade the quality of the output code, especially for those that produce many D[FC]mode pseudos.
This patch turns on -fsplit-wide-types-early by default in order to restore the previous behavior. gcc/ChangeLog: * common/config/xtensa/xtensa-common.cc (xtensa_option_optimization_table): Add OPT_fsplit_wide_types_early for OPT_LEVELS_ALL in order to restore pre-GCC10 behavior. --- gcc/common/config/xtensa/xtensa-common.cc | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/gcc/common/config/xtensa/xtensa-common.cc b/gcc/common/config/xtensa/xtensa-common.cc index fbbe9b0aad7..0f27763aa71 100644 --- a/gcc/common/config/xtensa/xtensa-common.cc +++ b/gcc/common/config/xtensa/xtensa-common.cc @@ -34,6 +34,8 @@ static const struct default_options xtensa_option_optimization_table[] = assembler, so GCC cannot do a good job of reordering blocks.
