Thanks for the explanation. I think I am clear about what you are thinking now.
That's an interesting question. I am not sure about reason why GCC's reload
cannot handle a doloop_end insn.
I guess maybe the doloop_end pattern is special? I mean it's a branch insn in a
parallel form.

We are talking in circles. I understand ve

2. A port doesn't need to implement hwloop_pattern_reg hook if it has no
zero-cost loop instruction.
Is that clear?

If the tripcount spill issue is not handled in the pattern, ICE may happen
then.
Here reload is trying to spill pseudo 173, but a memory operand is not allowed
in zero_cost_loop_end pattern.
And this is what I am trying to solve.

Hi Sterling,
Attached please find the testcase for the spill issue. Try it out with the

Hi Sterling,
Since the patch is delayed for a long time, I'm kind of pushing it. Sorry
for that.
Yeah, you are right. We have some performance issue here as GCC may use one
more general register in some cases with this patch.
Take the following arraysum testcase for example. In dol

Felix,
This isn't my day job, 24-hour pings are unproductive.
You shouldn't need to worry about the trip count register getting
spilled. It makes no difference whatsoever to how the loop
operates--the trip count is dea
PING？

Thanks for the comments.
The patch checked the usage of teh trip count register, making sure
that it is not used in the loop body other than the doloop_end or
lives past the doloop_end instruction, as the following code snippet
shows:
+ /* Scan all the blocks to make sure they don't use iter_reg

Hi Sterling,
I made some improvement to the patch. Two changes:
1. TARGET_LOOPS is now used as a condition of the doloop related
patterns, which is more elegant.
2. As the trip count register of the zero-cost loop maybe
potentially spilled, we need to change the patterns in order to ha
Hello Sterling,
My paper work with the FSF has finished and we can now move
forward with this patch :-)
I rebased the patch on the latest trunk. Attached please find
version 3 of the patch.
And the enclosed patch also includes the two points pointed by
you, do you like it?

Hi Sterling,
Please note that version 2 of the patch is for gcc trunk, not for
gcc-4.8 branch.
Since the doloop_end pattern format has changed, this patch need
small adaptation in order for it to work on gcc-4.8.
Although I test it on gcc-4.8, I think the testing result still

Hi Sterling,
Attached please find version 2 of the patch.
I applied this updated patch (with small adaptations) to gcc-4.8.2
and carried out some tests.
I can execute the testcases in a simulator, which support
zero-overhead looping instructions.
First of all, I can successfully

Hi Felix,
I last worked on zero-overhead loops for Xtensa in the gcc 4.3
