I haven't tried to see what goes on in the compiler, but it feels like
your.patch just fixes a symptom. Might be just reload behaving like
reload, but it just seems to me that the problem is not that you
cannot create new pseudos at the point of the ICE. The test on whether
the optab exists is obviously not enough, you somehow need to make
sure that the move doesn't require new registers. That's something I
would expect reload to check: Can the target make the move I'm asking
for without introducing new registers...
I believe that reload does not handle complex moves. The PA backend
only
has reload patterns for integer and floating point moves, and the
documentation
indicates that the backend doesn't have to provide complex support.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think I have a way to trigger
a reload
pattern for this case in the backend. There are no reloads patterns
for insert
and extract operations. The middle is supposed to handle it.
