Subject: [Bug rtl-optimization/15492] New: floating-point arguments are loaded too early to x87 stack
X-Bugzilla-Reason: CC
X-SW-Source: 2004-05/txt/msg01845.txt.bz2
List-Id: <gcc-bugs.sourceware.org>

This testcase shows another problem with x87 stack:

double test (double a, double b) {
        return a*a +  b*b;
}

In this case, floating point arguments are loaded too early to x87 stack,
with 'gcc -O2', resulting asm is:
test:
        pushl   %ebp
        movl    %esp, %ebp
        fldl    8(%ebp)
        fldl    16(%ebp)
        fxch    %st(1)
        fmul    %st(0), %st
        fxch    %st(1)
        popl    %ebp
        fmul    %st(0), %st
        faddp   %st, %st(1)
        ret
 
The situation is a little better with '-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer':
test:
        fldl    4(%esp)
        fldl    12(%esp)
        fmul    %st(0), %st
        fxch    %st(1)
        fmul    %st(0), %st
        faddp   %st, %st(1)
        ret

But optimal code would look something like this (second arg should be loaded to
stack in some kind of 'just in time' fashion.
test:
        fldl    4(%esp)
        fmul    %st(0), %st
        fldl    12(%esp)
        fmul    %st(0), %st
        faddp   %st, %st(1)
        ret
