Hi, In r11-966-g9a182ef9ee011935d827ab5c6c9a7cd8e22257d8 we introduce a simplification to emit_move_insn that attempts to simplify moves of the form: (set (subreg:M1 (reg:M2 ...)) (constant C)) where M1 and M2 are of equal mode size. That is problematic for the splitter vfp.md:no_literal_pool_df_immediate in the arm backend, which tries to pun an lvalue DFmode pseudo into DImode and assign a constant to it with emit_move_insn, as the new transformation simply undoes this, and we end up splitting indefinitely. This patch changes things around in the arm backend so that we use a DImode temporary (instead of DFmode) and first load the DImode constant into the pseudo, and then pun the pseudo into DFmode as an rvalue in a reg -> reg move. I believe this should be semantically equivalent but avoids the pathalogical behaviour seen in the PR. Bootstrapped/regtested on arm-linux-gnueabihf, regtested on arm-none-eabi and armeb-none-eabi. OK for trunk and backports? Thanks, Alex gcc/ChangeLog: PR target/109800 * config/arm/arm.md (movdf): Generate temporary pseudo in DImode instead of DFmode. * config/arm/vfp.md (no_literal_pool_df_immediate): Rather than punning an lvalue DFmode pseudo into DImode, use a DImode pseudo and pun it into DFmode as an rvalue. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: PR target/109800 * gcc.target/arm/pr109800.c: New test.
