Right.

Oops, added.
* config/rs6000/rs6000.md (movsi_internal1_single+1): Update
call to rs6000_emit_set_const in splitter.
(movdi_internal64+2, +3): Likewise.
* config/rs6000/rs6000-protos.h (rs6000_emit_set_const): Update
prototype.

I believe my updated comment covers the complete purpose of the
function nowadays. The comments I removed are out-dated, and should
have been removed a long time ago.. rs6000_emit_set_const does not
even look at N, it always returns a non-zero result, and the return is
only tested for non-zero. I removed MODE too, because that is always
the same as GET_MODE (dest).

I'm sure we can't get a NULL dest nowadays. All (three) uses of
rs6000_emit_set_const occur in splitters. They all must have passed a
gpc_reg_operand constraint on operands[0] before calling
rs6000_emit_set_const, so if NULL were possible we'd segfault in
gpc_reg_operand.

Yeah, that function is a bit messy. I took the approach of always use
a bare "dest" once in the last instruction emitted, with every other
use getting hit with copy_rtx. The previous approach was similar,
but used the bare "dest" on the first instruction emitted. Obviously
you don't need copy_rtx anywhere with the new code when
can_create_pseudo_p is true, but I felt it wasn't worth optimising
that for the added source complication.
