[backport patch approved for 4.9 stage1, I believe native compilation on ARM is affected by the missed-optimization ] Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2013 00:30:24 +0800 Subject: [PATCH, combine] Fix host-specific behavior in simplify_compare_const() From: Chung-Ju Wu List-Archive: Hi all, I notice the function simplify_compare_const() in gcc/combine.c presents different behavior between 32-bit host machine and 64-bit host machine, causing it to perform different RTL transformation for a 32-bit target. In the function: simplify_compare_const (enum rtx_code code, rtx op0, rtx *pop1), there is a statement "HOST_WIDE_INT const_op = INTVAL (*pop1);". Although it uses "trunc_int_for_mode()" to make const_op present the value for target machine mode, the subsequent condition checking does not filter out the unnecessary bits: if (... ... && exact_log2 (const_op) >= 0 && nonzero_bits (op0, mode) == (unsigned HOST_WIDE_INT) const_op) { ... } For example, given that: op0: (and:SI (reg/v:SI 54) (const_int -2147483648)) *pop1: (const_int -2147483648) Since mode comes from GET_MODE (op0), we know that mode is SImode. on 32-bit host machine, rtx *pop1: (const_int -2147483648 [0x80000000]) const_op: 0x80000000 exact_log2 (const_op): 31 nonzero_bits (op0, mode) : 0x80000000 (unsigned HOST_WIDE_INT) const_op: 0x80000000 on 64-bit host machine, rtx *pop1: (const_int -2147483648 [0xffffffff80000000]) const_op: 0xffffffff80000000 exact_log2 (const_op): -1 nonzero_bits (op0, mode) : 0x0000000080000000 (unsigned HOST_WIDE_INT) const_op: 0xffffffff80000000 In this case, the condition results on 32-bit and 64-bit host machine are different. The result on 64-bit host machine cannot pass the condition test so that we have no chance to do optimization. In other words, any 32-bit target with 'need_64bit_hwint=yes' in config.gcc is not able to have benefit from this optimization because it never passes the condition test. My solution is to use GET_MODE_MASK(mode) to filter out all bits not in target mode. The following is my patch: gcc/ChangLog: * gcc/combine.c: Use GET_MODE_MASK() to filter out unnecessary bits in simplify_compare_const(). --- gcc-4.7.2/gcc/combine.c.~1~ 2012-08-09 17:33:28.000000000 +0200 +++ gcc-4.7.2/gcc/combine.c 2013-03-09 13:32:13.830901513 +0100 @@ -10917,8 +10917,8 @@ simplify_compare_const (enum rtx_code co && (code == EQ || code == NE || code == GE || code == GEU || code == LT || code == LTU) && mode_width <= HOST_BITS_PER_WIDE_INT - && exact_log2 (const_op) >= 0 - && nonzero_bits (op0, mode) == (unsigned HOST_WIDE_INT) const_op) + && exact_log2 (const_op & GET_MODE_MASK (mode)) >= 0 + && nonzero_bits (op0, mode) == (unsigned HOST_WIDE_INT) (const_op & GET_MODE_MASK (mode))) { code = (code == EQ || code == GE || code == GEU ?
