Dear all,
I was working on simplifying the movdi in my port and I had put :
[(set (match_operand:DI 0 "nonimmediate_operand" "=r,r,r,o")
(match_operand:DI 1 "general_operand" "r,i,o,r"))]
However, due to constraints on the offset that is allowed, I:
- Added the check of the offset in the expand
- Added the check of the offset in the definition of the instruction
- Changed the constraints to:
[(set (match_operand:DI 0 "nonimmediate_operand" "=r,r,r,R")
(match_operand:DI 1 "general_operand" "r,i,R,r"))]
Where R checks if the operand is a memory operand and if the offset is correct.
Once I did that, in one case of my regression tests, I received the error:
asm operand requires impossible reload
However, if I generate what I get in the first version, all the moves
seem to be correct anyway.
My theory is that reload needs the o EVEN IF what it will be trying to
do is illegal and it will figure that out and finally generate the
right thing afterwards.
Thus, why the o is necessary and not the R.
Is this correct?
Thanks,
Jean Christophe Beyler
