This patch addresses the last remaining issue with PR target/31985, that GCC could make better use of memory addressing modes when implementing double word addition. This is achieved by adding a define_insn_and_split that combines an *add3_doubleword with a *concat3, so that the components of the concat can be used directly, without first being loaded into a double word register. For test_c in the bugzilla PR: Before: pushl %ebx subl $16, %esp movl 28(%esp), %eax movl 36(%esp), %ecx movl 32(%esp), %ebx movl 24(%esp), %edx addl %ecx, %eax adcl %ebx, %edx movl %eax, 8(%esp) movl %edx, 12(%esp) addl $16, %esp popl %ebx ret After: test_c: subl $20, %esp movl 36(%esp), %eax movl 32(%esp), %edx addl 28(%esp), %eax adcl 24(%esp), %edx movl %eax, 8(%esp) movl %edx, 12(%esp) addl $20, %esp ret If this approach is considered acceptable, similar splitters can be used for other doubleword operations. 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.
