With -ffuse-ops-with-volatile-access general_operand accepts volatile
MEMs during combine.  For "int a = x; int b = y; return a < b;" with
volatile x and y, combine first merges the load of y into the compare
and then the load of x, giving (compare (mem/v x) (mem/v y)).  The
operands of one insn are unordered and LRA loads y first, so the two
sequenced volatile reads are reordered.  can_combine_p checks insns
between INSN and I3 for volatile references, but not I3 itself.

Refuse to combine an insn that reads volatile memory directly into an
I3 whose source already reads volatile memory.  A volatile store in I3
is still allowed, so read-modify-write forms are unaffected.

Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.

         PR rtl-optimization/127851

gcc/ChangeLog:

         * combine.cc (can_combine_p): Don't combine an insn that reads
         volatile memory directly into an I3 whose source already reads
         volatile memory.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

         * gcc.target/aarch64/volatile-fuse-order-1.c: New test.
         * gcc.target/aarch64/volatile-fuse-order-2.c: New test.
         * gcc.target/i386/volatile-fuse-order-1.c: New test.
         * gcc.target/i386/volatile-fuse-order-2.c: New test.
         * gcc.target/i386/volatile-fuse-order-3.c: New test.
OK for the x86 part.

Thanks,
Uros.

Can someone please take look at the combine bits ?

Thx,

v3: the x86 check-function-bodies now match only the load and the compare;
     use ia32 / ! ia32 selectors, so -mx32 is covered too (Uros).
v2: the x86 check-function-bodies tests now also run and check the bodies
     on ia32 (Uros); added -fno-pic for the global-variable ones.
