So my tester started showing even more regressions on the sh3/sh4 runs recently (beyond the one recently reported in BZ triggered by some DCE related changes).  Bisection kept showing inconsistent results.  I was starting to think memory management error, but valgrind didn't flag anything. After a bit of head-banging I was able to track it down to predicate tests called from the SH specific combiner passes.  And once I started getting inside the actual code for the predicate function it became pretty obvious.  The predicate routines are supposed to return a bool, fine and they dutifully set the low bit in %eax properly. The *caller* was looking at the full register.  Uh-oh.  Naturally we became dependent on what happened to be in the upper 31 bits of a register.  That's why the bug would come and go so willy-nilly. This was ultimately chased down to an incorrect prototype in sh_treg_combine.cc  for predicates functions defined via define_predicate. Removing the bogus prototypes and instead including the generated tm-preds.h fixes this problem.  I also checked the other ports for similar problems (specifically looking for a extern int.*_operand, then for each of the hits looking to see if the predicate was defined via define_predicate).  No other ports had similar braindamage. This fixes the most recent regressions in my tester for sh3/sh3eb and I strongly suspect sh4.  It does not fix 107704, but I think Richi and I both agree that's a visitation order issue and we were just getting lucky before. Committing to the trunk. Jeff
