[Bug middle-end/16537] New: ICE Compiling Linux Kernel

[krebbel1 at de dot ibm dot com]

I've trouble compiling the linux 2.6 kernel on s390 with the current cvs 
head gcc but I could reproduce the problem on Intel too. 

The compile produced an ICE in 
arch/s390/kernel/time.c:account_ticks.

I've reduced the testcase to:

void account_ticks(void)
{
 unsigned long tmp;
 unsigned short ticks;

 tmp = 0;

 ticks = tmp;

 asm volatile ("SCKC %0" : : "m" (tmp));

}

Compiled on 32 bit Intel with:

gcc test.i

results in the following ICE:

test.i: In function `account_ticks':
test.i:3: error: Invalid operand to unary operator
tmp<D1120>

test.i:3: internal compiler error: verify_stmts failed.

gcc -v says:

Reading specs from /usr/local/gcc-3.5/lib/gcc/i486-linux/3.5.0/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.5/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++
--prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.5 --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --enable-nls
--without-included-gettext --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu
--enable-debug i486-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.5.0 20040714 (experimental)

The ICE doesn't occur with gcc from 06/28/2004!

The line with ticks=tmp; seems to be dead code but is essential for the
occurrence of the ICE as well as the implicit type cast from long to short.

In verify_expr is_gimple_val returns false for the tmp var_decl due to the
following check:
(tree-gimple.c:404)

if (is_gimple_variable (t)
      && is_gimple_reg_type (TREE_TYPE (t))
      && !is_gimple_reg (t))
    return false;

Wherein is_gimple_reg returns false because the addressable_flag of tmp
is set which should be issued by the "m" constraint in the inline assembly.

As far as I've understood, the "m" constraint forces tmp to be placed in memory
but for the type conversion verify_expr refuses to use a temporary memory slot?

Confirmed.

Even shorter example:

==============================
void foo(int i)
{
    short j=i;
    __asm__ ("" :: "m"(i));
}
==============================

The problem is more complex than people think, see PR 15740 which this is a dup where I had thought 
through a fix but I decided it would not work.
