Yes, the "" in split condition does mean 'true' (always).

Without this patch, they are indeed functionally identical. It's like
the writer want to have one define_insn to match under some condition, but
want to have one define_split to match always.

Yes, it's valid without this patch. That's why I asked whether there is
some good reason to keep it be [1]. In Segher's opinion, there is no
good reason, he pointed out "A reader does not expect a
define_insn_and_split to split any other insns."

I think "|| 1" works just like "" if people want the define_split to
split all the time, even with this patch.

Yes, the current patch will stop the "" condition which was accepted
before. Thanks for bringing this up! We have to update the
documentation if people reach a consensus.

Not sure, the docs say
@var{insn-pattern}, @var{condition}, @var{output-template}, and
@var{insn-attributes} are used as in @code{define_insn}.
...
The @var{split-condition} is also used as in
@code{define_split}, with the additional behavior that if the condition starts
with @samp{&&}, the condition used for the split will be the constructed as a
logical ``and'' of the split condition with the insn condition.
so one can indeed read this as "" meaning 'true' w/o considering the
define_insn condition. But then we say
The @code{define_insn_and_split} construction provides exactly the same
functionality as two separate @code{define_insn} and @code{define_split}
patterns. It exists for compactness, and as a maintenance tool to prevent
having to ensure the two patterns' templates match.
But then when I split a define_insn_and_split with a "" split condition
they are not functionally identical? Also "" as split condition _does_
seem valid, just maybe unintended? How would one create a
functionally equivalent example? "|| 1" will likely not work.
Note I'm not familiar with all the details here but the documentation
does seem ambiguous at best, not supporting to error on empty
split-conditions at least.

Do you happen to have some similar examples? IIUC this idea has to lay on the assumption always holding that when one developer puts split condition as blank meanwhile leaves insn condition as non-empty, he/she exactly wants to make split condition the same as insn condition.
