This is the first part in fixing PR target/120372. The current code for canonicalize_comparison, uses gen_move_insn and rtx_cost to find out the cost of generating a constant. This is ok in most cases except sometimes the comparison instruction can handle different constants than a simple set intruction can do. This changes to use rtx_cost directly with the outer being COMPARE just like how prepare_cmp_insn handles that. Note this is also a small speedup and small memory improvement because we are not creating a move for the constant any more. Since we are not creating a psedu-register any more, this also removes the check on that. Also adds a dump so we can see why one choice was chosen over the other. Build and tested for aarch64-linux-gnu. gcc/ChangeLog: * expmed.cc (canonicalize_comparison): Use rtx_cost directly instead of gen_move_insn. Print out the choice if dump is enabled.
OK. Someone else needs to ACK the 2nd patch though. Jeff
