I'm seeing this on my 16-bit ix86 port. Something isn't right: insn_cost 5: 12 insn_cost 6: 8 insn_cost 7: 4 ... rejecting combination of insns 5 and 6 original costs 12 + 8 = 24 replacement cost 28
Now, 12 + 8 = 20, not 24. The cost obviously includes insn 7 also. What's happening is that combine is trying to combine insns 5, 6 but needs a CCmode change in insn 7 because we have plain CCmode but SELECT_CC_MODE chooses CCZ_Cmode for the combined insn 5+6. The original insns: (insn 5 2 6 2 .../gcc.c-torture/execute/20000801-4.c:12 (set (reg/f:HI 22) (const:HI (plus:HI (symbol_ref/f:HI ("*.LC0") [flags 0x2] <string_cst 0xb7ea5ee0>) (const_int 1 [0x1])))) 9 {*movhi} (nil)) (insn 6 5 7 2 .../gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/execute/20000801-4.c:12 (set (reg:CC 13 cc) (compare:CC (mem/s:QI (reg/f:HI 22) [0 S1 A8]) (const_int 0 [0x0]))) 436 {cmpqi_cc} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/f:HI 22) (nil))) (insn 7 6 10 2 .../gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/execute/20000801-4.c:12 (parallel [ (set (reg:HI 24) (eq:HI (reg:CC 13 cc) (const_int 0 [0x0]))) (clobber (scratch:QI)) (clobber (reg:CC 13 cc)) ]) 454 {*seqhi_cc} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:CC 13 cc) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:CC 13 cc) (nil)))) The replacements: (set (reg:CCZ_C 13 cc) (compare:CCZ_C (mem/s:QI (const:HI (plus:HI (symbol_ref/f:HI ("*.LC0") [flags 0x2] <string_cst 0xb7ea5ee0>) (const_int 1 [0x1]))) [0 S1 A8]) (const_int 0 [0x0]))) (set (reg:HI 24) (eq:HI (reg:CCZ_C 13 cc) (const_int 0 [0x0]))) As noted, combine rejects the replacement. But the structure of insn 7 has now been corrupted: (insn 5 2 6 2 .../gcc.c-torture/execute/20000801-4.c:12 (set (reg/f:HI 22) (const:HI (plus:HI (symbol_ref/f:HI ("*.LC0") [flags 0x2] <string_cst 0xb7ea5ee0>) (const_int 1 [0x1])))) 9 {*movhi} (nil)) (insn 6 5 7 2 .../gcc.c-torture/execute/20000801-4.c:12 (set (reg:CC 13 cc) (compare:CC (mem/s:QI (reg/f:HI 22) [0 S1 A8]) (const_int 0 [0x0]))) 436 {cmpqi_cc} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/f:HI 22) (nil))) (insn 7 6 10 2 .../gcc.c-torture/execute/20000801-4.c:12 (parallel [ (set (reg:HI 24) (eq:HI (reg:CC 13 cc) (const_int 0 [0x0]))) (clobber (reg:CC 13 cc)) ]) 454 {*seqhi_cc} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:CC 13 cc) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:CC 13 cc) (nil)))) The clobber of the scratch register has disappeared! A possible clue as to what sets up the failure is that the second replacement insn (to replace insn 7) (set (reg:HI 24) (eq:HI (reg:CCZ_C 13 cc) (const_int 0 [0x0]))) needs to have a clobber added. It really looks like this: (set (reg:HI 24) (eq:HI (reg:CCZ_C 13 cc) (const_int 0 [0x0]))) (clobber (reg:CC 13 cc)) Combine knows how to add clobbers to make insns recognizable. I'm guessing it accidentally clobbers the original insn in doing so. Where would I look? -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen
