--- Comment #23 from Alexander Monakov <amonakov at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Sergei Trofimovich from comment #22) > Here `pcmpeqd %xmm2,%xmm1` is a problematic instruction. Why does `gcc` use > `%xmm2` (result of `cvttps2dq`) instead of, say `%xmm0` which contains > `0xFFFFffff` pattern? %xmm0 contains the first all-ones argument to assert_eq. The comparison needs to happen against a register that contains 0x7fff_ffff (x4), and GCC "thinks" that %xmm2 contains that value. At -O1, the optimization is done by the RTL CSE pass (you can confirm by switching it off with -fdisable-rtl-cse1 along -O1), it sees (insn 6 5 7 2 (set (reg:V4SF 97) (mem/u/c:V4SF (symbol_ref/u:DI ("*.LC1") [flags 0x2]) [0 S16 A128])) "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.2.0/include/xmmintrin.h":386:19 1335 {movv4sf_internal} (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (const_vector:V4SF [ (const_double:SF 4.294967296e+9 [0x0.8p+33]) repeated x4 ]) (nil))) (insn 10 9 11 2 (set (reg:V4SI 98) (fix:V4SI (reg:V4SF 97))) "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.2.0/include/emmintrin.h":832:19 2635 {fix_truncv4sfv4si2} (expr_list:REG_EQUAL (const_vector:V4SI [ (const_int 2147483647 [0x7fffffff]) repeated x4 ]) (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:V4SF 99) (nil)))) Note the incorrect REG_EQUAL caused by inappropriate use of fix:V4SI where the source code had cvttps2dq.
