Subject: [Bug c++/99470] New: Convert fixed index addition to array address offset
Date: Mon, 08 Mar 2021 17:20:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-99470-4@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99470

            Bug ID: 99470
           Summary: Convert fixed index addition to array address offset
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: redbeard0531 at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

These two functions do the same thing but f() is the cleaner source code
(especially when arr is a std::array) while g() generates better code:

https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/vTT399

#include <cstdint>

inline int8_t arr[256];

bool f(int a, int b) {
    return arr[a+128] == arr[b+128];
}

bool g(int a, int b) {
    return (arr+128)[a] == (arr+128)[b];
}

f(int, int):
        sub     edi, -128
        sub     esi, -128
        lea     rax, arr[rip]
        movsx   rdi, edi
        movsx   rsi, esi
        movzx   edx, BYTE PTR [rax+rsi]
        cmp     BYTE PTR [rax+rdi], dl
        sete    al
        ret
g(int, int):
        lea     rax, arr[rip+128]
        movsx   rdi, edi
        movsx   rsi, esi
        movzx   edx, BYTE PTR [rax+rsi]
        cmp     BYTE PTR [rax+rdi], dl
        sete    al
        ret

In addition to only doing the +128 once, it also ends up being completely free
in g() because the assembler (or linker?) folds the addition into the address
calculation by adjusting the offset of the rip-relative address. In the godbolt
link, you can see that when compiled to binary, the LEA instruction uses the
same form in both f() and g(), so the addition really is free in g().
