In the case when we have C code like this int foo (int a) { return 100 & ~a; } GCC generates the following instruction sequence foo: not a0,a0 andi a0,a0,100 ret This patch replaces that with this sequence foo: li a5,100 andn a0,a5,a0 ret The profitability comes from an out-of-order processor being able to issue the "li a5, 100" at any time after it's fetched while "not a0, a0" has to wait until any prior setter of a0 has reached completion. gcc/ChangeLog: * config/riscv/bitmanip.md (*_not_const): New split pattern. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.target/riscv/zbb-andn-orn-01.c: New test. * gcc.target/riscv/zbb-andn-orn-02.c: Likewise. -- With the best regards Jivan Hakobyan
