Subject: [AArch64] Tighten move constraints for symbolic operands
Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2017 09:01:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wpb5alq1.fsf@e105548-lin.cambridge.arm.com> (raw)

The movsi and movdi constraints allowed the source to be any
absolute symbolic expression ("S").  That's OK for operands that
have already been vetted by the aarch64_mov_operand predicate but
causes problems if the register allocator substitutes an equivalence
(the usual "the constraints can't accept more than the predicates"
restriction).

Although all other uses of "S" in the backend are redundant and could
in principle be removed, "S" itself is a publicly-documented constraint
and so we'd have to keep its definition.  This patch therefore adds a
new "Usa" constraint for legitimate absolute address operands.

I saw this for a large testcase in which an equivalence was used
for a label_ref jump table.  It's not something that can be cut
down easily or that would give a robust regression test.

I don't think this is a regression, so maybe we don't want it for GCC 7.

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu.  OK to install?

Thanks,
Richard
