While working on patches to speed up the handling of constraints, I hit some behaviour in ira_get_dup_out_num that looked unintentional:
- the check for output operands was part of the !ignored_p condition so would be skipped if the first alternative is disabled/excluded. - the first disabled/excluded alternative stops all following alternatives from being processed, since we get "stuck" in the first part of the "if" statement and never increment curr_alt. This seems to have some effect on the testsuite. E.g. at -O2 gcc.c-torture/compile/20071117-1.c has changes like: .LCFI2: movq %rsp, %rbx subq %rax, %rsp - leaq 15(%rsp), %rax - andq $-16, %rax - movq %rax, %rdi + leaq 15(%rsp), %rdi + andq $-16, %rdi call bar xorl %esi, %esi movq %rbx, %rsp There are also some cases where the change introduces a move though. E.g. gcc.c-torture/compat/struct-ic.c has: movabsq $4294967296, %rdx addq $8, %rsp .LCFI4: - andq %rdi, %rax + andq %rax, %rdi + movq %rdi, %rax orq %rdx, %rax ret .L9: But AFAICT the patch is what was originally intended. Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu. OK to install? Thanks, Richard gcc/ * ira.c (ira_get_dup_out_num): Check for output operands at the start of the loop. Handle cases where an included alternative follows an excluded one.
