This does mean that unsigned short logical operations need a zero extend after the operation which might otherwise be unnecessary. This can't be handled at rtl generation time as we don't know if the constant will be used for arithmetic or logicals or signed or unsigned. But maybe an optimization pass could go over the code and convert HImode constants to signed or unsigned as appropriate to reduce the number of sign/zero extend operations. We have the ree pass that we might be able to extend to handle this. Handling this in combine requires a 4->3 splitter which is something combine doesn't do. We could work around that by not splitting constants before combine, but that would be a major change and probably not beneficial, as we wouldn't be able to easily optimize the high part of the constants anymore. Another approach here might be to split the xor along with the constant. If we generated something like srli a0,a0,1 xori a0,a0,1 li a5,-24576 xor a0,a0,a5 then we can optimize away the following zero extend with a 3->2 splitter which combine already supports via find_split_point. We can still optimize the high part of the constant. Since the immediates are sign extended, if the low part of the immediate has the sign bit set, we would have to invert the high part of the immediate to get the right result. At least I think that works, I haven't double checked it yet. This only works for or if the low part doesn't have the sign bit set. And this only works for and if the low part does have the sign bit set.
