Hi! The following testcase ICEs, because simplify_gen_binary (IOR, HImode, ...) simplifies into (subreg:HI (reg:SI ...) 0), but was still passing mode (HImode) as second argument to recursive combine_simplify_rtx call. The second argument is op0_mode, so is supposed to be the real mode which should be assumed for its first operand. Passing mode in that case is only safe if simplify_gen_binary doesn't actually simplify it, but as simplify_gen_binary would simplify constant arguments anyway into a constant, it doesn't make any sense to hint combine_simplify_rtx about the original op0_mode. That is something only useful when called from subst, which simplifies the operands (which may turn them from non-VOIDmode into VOIDmode) and then calls combine_simplify_rtx to simplify the whole operation.
The second part of the patch attempts to optimize more, as simplify_gen_binary may already simplify the expression, so often (including the testcase) combine_simplify_rtx doesn't simplify anything, i.e. tor == temp, yet it is simplified over (ior plus_arg0 plus_arg1). Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk? For 4.6, I think safer would be just the first one liner change to pass VOIDmode to combine_simplify_rtx. Is that ok for 4.6? 2011-07-04 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR rtl-optimization/49619 * combine.c (combine_simplify_rtx): In PLUS -> IOR simplification pass VOIDmode as op0_mode to recursive call, and return temp even when different from tor, just if it is not IOR of the original PLUS arguments. * gcc.dg/pr49619.c: New test. --- gcc/combine.c.jj 2011-06-21 16:46:01.000000000 +0200 +++ gcc/combine.c 2011-07-04 16:05:52.000000000 +0200 @@ -5681,12 +5681,17 @@ combine_simplify_rtx (rtx x, enum machin { /* Try to simplify the expression further. */ rtx tor = simplify_gen_binary (IOR, mode, XEXP (x, 0), XEXP (x, 1)); - temp = combine_simplify_rtx (tor, mode, in_dest, 0); + temp = combine_simplify_rtx (tor, VOIDmode, in_dest, 0); /* If we could, great.
