This patch fixes some very odd (unanticipated) code generation by compare_by_pieces with -m32 -mavx, since the recent addition of the cbranchoi4 pattern. The issue is that cbranchoi4 is available with TARGET_AVX, but cbranchti4 is currently conditional on TARGET_64BIT which results in the odd behaviour (thanks to OPTAB_WIDEN) that with -m32 -mavx, compare_by_pieces ends up (inefficiently) widening 128-bit comparisons to 256-bits before performing PTEST. This patch fixes this by providing a cbranchti4 pattern that's available with either TARGET_64BIT or TARGET_SSE4_1. For the test case below (again from PR 104610): int foo(char *a) { static const char t[] = "0123456789012345678901234567890"; return __builtin_memcmp(a, &t[0], sizeof(t)) == 0; } GCC with -m32 -O2 -mavx currently produces the bonkers: foo: pushl %ebp movl %esp, %ebp andl $-32, %esp subl $64, %esp movl 8(%ebp), %eax vmovdqa .LC0, %xmm4 movl $0, 48(%esp) vmovdqu (%eax), %xmm2 movl $0, 52(%esp) movl $0, 56(%esp) movl $0, 60(%esp) movl $0, 16(%esp) movl $0, 20(%esp) movl $0, 24(%esp) movl $0, 28(%esp) vmovdqa %xmm2, 32(%esp) vmovdqa %xmm4, (%esp) vmovdqa (%esp), %ymm5 vpxor 32(%esp), %ymm5, %ymm0 vptest %ymm0, %ymm0 jne .L2 vmovdqu 16(%eax), %xmm7 movl $0, 48(%esp) movl $0, 52(%esp) vmovdqa %xmm7, 32(%esp) vmovdqa .LC1, %xmm7 movl $0, 56(%esp) movl $0, 60(%esp) movl $0, 16(%esp) movl $0, 20(%esp) movl $0, 24(%esp) movl $0, 28(%esp) vmovdqa %xmm7, (%esp) vmovdqa (%esp), %ymm1 vpxor 32(%esp), %ymm1, %ymm0 vptest %ymm0, %ymm0 je .L6 .L2: movl $1, %eax xorl $1, %eax vzeroupper leave ret .L6: xorl %eax, %eax xorl $1, %eax vzeroupper leave ret with this patch, we now generate the (slightly) more sensible: foo: vmovdqa .LC0, %xmm0 movl 4(%esp), %eax vpxor (%eax), %xmm0, %xmm0 vptest %xmm0, %xmm0 jne .L2 vmovdqa .LC1, %xmm0 vpxor 16(%eax), %xmm0, %xmm0 vptest %xmm0, %xmm0 je .L5 .L2: movl $1, %eax xorl $1, %eax ret .L5: xorl %eax, %eax xorl $1, %eax ret This patch has been tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with make bootstrap and make -k check, both with and without --target_board=unix{-m32} with no new failures. Ok for mainline? 2023-06-27 Roger Sayle gcc/ChangeLog * config/i386/i386-expand.cc (ix86_expand_branch): Also use ptest for TImode comparisons on 32-bit architectures. * config/i386/i386.md (cbranch4): Change from SDWIM to SWIM1248x to exclude/avoid TImode being conditional on -m64. (cbranchti4): New define_expand for TImode on both TARGET_64BIT and/or with TARGET_SSE4_1. * config/i386/predicates.md (ix86_timode_comparison_operator): New predicate that depends upon TARGET_64BIT. (ix86_timode_comparison_operand): Likewise. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog * gcc.target/i386/pieces-memcmp-2.c: New test case. Thanks in advance, Roger --
