I'm trying to understand how the patch would help...

The code you're patching is:

/* Move floating point as parts.  */
if (GET_MODE_CLASS (mode) == MODE_COMPLEX_FLOAT
+    && can_create_pseudo_p ()
&& optab_handler (mov_optab, GET_MODE_INNER (mode)) != CODE_FOR_nothing)
  try_int = false;
/* Not possible if the values are inherently not adjacent.  */
else if (GET_CODE (x) == CONCAT || GET_CODE (y) == CONCAT)
  try_int = false;
/* Is possible if both are registers (or subregs of registers).  */
else if (register_operand (x, mode) && register_operand (y, mode))
  try_int = true;
/* If one of the operands is a memory, and alignment constraints
are friendly enough, we may be able to do combined memory operations. We do not attempt this if Y is a constant because that combination is
   usually better with the by-parts thing below.  */
else if ((MEM_P (x) ? !CONSTANT_P (y) : MEM_P (y))
         && (!STRICT_ALIGNMENT
             || get_mode_alignment (mode) == BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT))
  try_int = true;
else
  try_int = false;

With the new test for can_create_pseudo_p, you're trying to make
"try_int" be false. Apparently your failure happens if one of the
operands is a MEM? Otherwise the second "else if " test would find x
and y be registers and "try_int" still ends up being true.

I was trying to prevent "try_int" from being set to false in the "if" if we can't create a pseudo. If this is done, try_int gets set to true in the second
"else if" in the failing testcase.  As a result, we don't directly use
"emit_move_complex_parts" which currently needs a register on hppa64.


It seems to me that can_create_pseudo_p is not the right test anyway.
There many be other targets that can take this path just fine without
needing new registers. In the PR audit trail you say: "The problem is
SCmode is the same size as DImode on this target, so the subreg can't
be extracted by a move." Using can_create_pseudo_p is too big a hammer

to solve this problem. The right test would be to see if you end up
needing extra registers to perform the move. But emit_move_change_mode
already handles that, AFAICT, so can you please try and test if the
following patch solves the PR for you?

I'll give your patch a try.


Ciao!

Actually, I don't think it will work because "try_int" gets set to false and the code isn't used.
