ping x1 Complex Partial Integers are unimplemented, resulting in an ICE when attempting to use them. https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=79242 This results in GCC7/8 for msp430-elf failing to build. typedef _Complex __int20 C; C foo (C x, C y) { return x + y; } (Thanks Jakub - https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=79242#c2) ../../gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/msp430/pr79242.c: In function 'foo': ../../gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/msp430/pr79242.c:8:1: internal compiler error: in make_decl_rtl, at varasm.c:1304 foo (C x, C y) ^~~ 0xc07b29 make_decl_rtl(tree_node*) ../../gcc/varasm.c:1303 0x67523c set_parm_rtl(tree_node*, rtx_def*) ../../gcc/cfgexpand.c:1274 0x79ffb9 expand_function_start(tree_node*) ../../gcc/function.c:5166 0x6800e1 execute ../../gcc/cfgexpand.c:6250 The attached patch defines a new complex mode for PARTIAL_INT. You may notice that genmodes.c:complex_class returns MODE_COMPLEX_INT for MODE_PARTIAL_INT rather than MODE_COMPLEX_PARTIAL_INT. I reviewed the uses of MODE_COMPLEX_INT and it doesn't looked like a Complex Partial Int requires any different behaviour to MODE_COMPLEX_INT. msp430_hard_regno_nregs now returns 2 for CPSImode, but I feel like this may be better handled in the front-end. PSImode is already defined to only use 1 register, so for a CPSI shouldn't the front-end should be able to work out that double the amount of registers are required? Thoughts? Without the definition for CPSI in msp430_hard_regno_nregs, rtlanal.c:subreg_get_info thinks that a CPSI requires 4 registers of size 2, instead of 2 registers of size 4. Successfully bootstrapped and tested for c,c++,fortran,lto,objc on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with no regressions on gcc-7-branch. With this patch gcc-7-branch now builds for msp430-elf. A further bug prevents trunk from building for msp430-elf. If the attached patch is acceptable, I would appreciate if someone would commit it for me (to trunk and gcc-7-branch), as I do not have write access.
