I was trying to say that when CC reg is used inside the comparison, e.g.:
(define_insn "*setcc_qi"
[(set (match_operand:QI 0 "nonimmediate_operand" "=qm")
(match_operator:QI 1 "ix86_comparison_operator"
[(reg FLAGS_REG) (const_int 0)]))]
""
"set%C1\t%0"
and through the%C operand modifier we call put_condition_code, the
mode of CC reg is checked and a different instruction is emitted,
depending on the CC reg mode. Please also note that not all comparison
operators are handled, so when the combine rewrites the comparison, it
isn't necessarily supported.
This is in contrast with:
(define_insn "@pushfl<mode>2"
[(set (match_operand:W 0 "push_operand" "=<")
(unspec:W [(match_operand:CC 1 "flags_reg_operand")]
UNSPEC_PUSHFL))]
where we don't care about CC reg mode at all. The CC reg is not in the
comparison, so the mode does not matter. The combination of
instructions should not be limited by CC reg user in this case.

Perhaps "CCmode register user is not a comparison." ?
