Hi,
So, what about adding a GIMPLE_COPY code? The code would have 0
operands and used only for its numeric value.
another possibility would be to make GIMPLE_COPY an unary operator, and
get rid of the SINGLE_RHS case altogether (of course, unlike any other
unary operator, it would not require its operand to be gimple_val, so
special handling might still be necessary at some places. but it might
be less cumbersome),
Remember that GIMPLE_COPY *never* needs to be built as a tree node.
When gimplifying something MODIFY_EXPR <VAR_DECL<a>, CONST_INT> we do
not need to create a GIMPLE_COPY tree node.
We merely need to set the subcode for GIMPLE_ASSIGN to be GIMPLE_COPY:
GIMPLE_ASSIGN <GIMPLE_COPY, VAR_DECL<a>, CONST_INT>
So, making it a one operand operator is not really necessary.
