That's too bad. Thanks for digging. I haven't checked myself recently, I
thought this infrastructure has been improved a little bit, but seems not so.
Perhaps SH is the only backend that wants to do this kind of thing. Let's
leave it at that for now. Later, after everything else has been cleared out we
can ask other GCC developers' opinion on this.

That'd be good.

Also not sure how to do that at the moment. Maybe scanning RTL dumps of the
new extra passes? Or perhaps just a simple example as a start:
void test_func (int* a_ptr, int* b_ptr, unsigned int count)
{
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
a_ptr[i] >> 5;
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
b_ptr[i] >> 5;
}
... and then just scan the asm output and check against the expected number of
insns. In this case, mov.l insn to load the function call address.

Right now not that I can think of.

Yes, that should be fine.
