My understanding is that the REG_UNUSED note causes the chain opened for a dest register operand to be immediately closed but, when you have multiple such dest register operands, one would need to have the chain live "during the instruction" or right after, so that you have a conflict with the other dest register operands for the instruction. This looks awkward though. -- Eric Botcazou
