This patch is the backend piece of my proposed fix to PR tree-opt/98335,
to allow C++ partial struct initialization to be as efficient/optimized
as full struct initialization.

With the middle-end patch just posted to gcc-patches, the test case
in the PR compiles on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with -O2 to:

        xorl    %eax, %eax
        movb    c(%rip), %al
        ret

with this additional peephole2 (actually pair of peephole2s):

        movzbl  c(%rip), %eax
        ret


This patch has been tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, on top of the
middle-end piece, with make bootstrap and make -k check with no
new failures.  Posted in pieces to simplify review.  Ok for mainline?

Is there a reason that only inserts to DImode registers are
implemented? IMO, these peepholes should also handle inserts to
SImode.

Hi Uros,

> Is there a reason that only inserts to DImode registers are implemented?
> IMO, these peepholes should also handle inserts to SImode.

I wasn't able to construct a test case that produced a byte or word insert
into an SImode register.  The front-ends and middle-end end up producing
different code sequences, and -m32 changes the ABI so that small structs
get passed in memory rather than in registers.

Here's the expanded testcase that I investigated:

struct DataCL { char a; int b; };
struct DataWL { short a; int b; };
struct DataIL { int a; int b; };

struct DataCI { char a; short b; };
struct DataWI { short a; short b; };

char c;
short w;
int i;

DataCL foo_cl(int idx) { return { c }; }
DataCL bar_cl(int idx) { return { c, 0 }; }
DataWL foo_wl(int idx) { return { w }; }
DataWL bar_wl(int idx) { return { w, 0 }; }
DataIL foo_il(int idx) { return { i }; }
DataIL bar_il(int idx) { return { i, 0 }; }

DataCI foo_ci(int idx) { return { c }; }
DataCI bar_ci(int idx) { return { c, 0 }; }
DataWI foo_wi(int idx) { return { w }; }
DataWI bar_wi(int idx) { return { w, 0 }; }


I agree that for completeness similar peepholes handling inserts into 
SImode would be a good thing, but these wouldn't be restricted by
TARGET_64BIT and would therefore require additional -m32 testing.
The DImode peepholes I can justify for stage4 as PR tree-opt/98335
is a regression, SImode peepholes would be more of a "leap of faith".
If you’d be willing to accept a patch without a testcase, let me know.

It's also a pity that subreg handling in combine doesn't allow merging
these inserts into zero registers to be combined to zero_extends in a
machine independent way.  My recent patch for PR 95126 (awaiting
review) should also allow front-ends and middle-end passes more
flexibility in optimizing small struct constructors. 

Thanks (as always) for reviewing patches so quickly.

For testcase, wouldn't something like:
struct Data { char a; short b; };

char c;

void val(void) {
  __asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : "r" ((struct Data) { c } ));
}
do it?

We have plenty of these, where we assume that if the pattern works in
one mode, it also works in other modes. So, I think that by changing
DI mode to SWI48 mode iterator, we are on the safe side. We can also
trust bootstrap and regression tests here.

IMO, the patch with SWI48 mode iterator is OK.

Thanks,
Uros.

Hi Uros,
Firstly many thanks for already (pre)approving half of this patch.  Jakub Jelinek's
suggestion for creating a testcase that exposes the SImode issue was extremely
helpful, but interestingly exposed another missed optimization opportunity that's
also addressed with this revision of my patch.

char c;
union Data { char a; short b; };
void val(void) { __asm__ __volatile__ ("" : : "r" ((union Data) { c } )); }

currently on x86_64 with -O2 on mainline generates following code:

        xorl    %eax, %eax
        movb    $0, %ah
        movb    c(%rip), %al
        ret

which contains the strict_low_part movb following an SI mode xor that we hope
to optimize, but infuriatingly we also have a completely redundant movb $0, %ah.
Hence, with this patch we have a new peephole2 that sees that in the first two
instructions the movb is redundant, which then allows the SImode/SWI48 xor
followed by movb peephole2 to optimize the rest to movzbl.  With the revised
patch below, the above testcase is now compiled as:

        movzbl  c(%rip), %eax
        ret

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (on top of the revised middle-end patch) with
make bootstrap and make -k check with no new failures.  Is this revised version
(still) Ok for mainline?
