I am not sure if that piece of code:
#if defined(POINTERS_EXTEND_UNSIGNED) && !defined(HAVE_ptr_extend)
/* As we do not know which address space the pointer is refering to,
we can do this only if the target does not support different pointer
or address modes depending on the address space. */
if (target_default_pointer_address_modes_p ()
&& POINTERS_EXTEND_UNSIGNED > 0
&& mode == Pmode && GET_MODE (op) == ptr_mode
&& (CONSTANT_P (op)
|| (GET_CODE (op) == SUBREG
&& REG_P (SUBREG_REG (op))
&& REG_POINTER (SUBREG_REG (op))
&& GET_MODE (SUBREG_REG (op)) == Pmode)))
return convert_memory_address (Pmode, op);
#endif
has ever worked before since convert_memory_address was there
before Ulrich added address-spaces. For x32, convert_memory_address
will generate new instructions when converting from SImode
to DImode. Should we simply remove them?
