Hi, Robin. Could you continue on this LICM issue ?
I am not sure whether my fix is correct, or you may find another way to make LICM works ?

I'm seeing a slightly different pattern but that doesn't change
the problem.

That's indeed a bit more idiomatic and I wouldn't oppose that.
 
The problem causing the ICE is that we want to simplify a PLUS
with (const_poly_int:SI [16, 16]) and (const_int 0) but the mode
is DImode.  My suspicion is that this is caused by our
addsi3_extended pattern and we fail to deduce the proper mode
for analysis.
 
I'm just speculating but maybe that's because we assert that a
plus is of the form simple_reg_p (op0) && CONSTANT_P (op1).
Usually, constants don't have a mode and can just be used.
poly_int_csts do have one and need to be explicitly converted
(kind of).
 
We can only analyze this zero_extended plus at all since Jeff
added the addsi3_extended handling for loop-iv.   Maybe we could
punt like
 
diff --git a/gcc/loop-iv.cc b/gcc/loop-iv.cc
index eb7e923a38b..796413c25a3 100644
--- a/gcc/loop-iv.cc
+++ b/gcc/loop-iv.cc
@@ -714,6 +714,9 @@ get_biv_step_1 (df_ref def, scalar_int_mode outer_mode, rtx reg,
          if (!simple_reg_p (op0) || !CONSTANT_P (op1))
            return false;
+         if (CONST_POLY_INT_P (op1) && GET_MODE (op1) != outer_mode)
+           return false;
+
 
This helps for your test case but I haven't done any further
testing.  I'd think this is relatively safe because it's only
a missed analysis/optimization in the worst case.
Still, generally, I don't see a reason why we wouldn't be able
to analyze this?
