Hi!
 
1. Here it is part of after-flow-pass 
dump. 
 
(insn 9 6 11 (set (reg:SI 
22 )
(mem/f:SI (plus:SI (reg:SI 6 
%ebp)
(const_int -8 [0xfffffff8])) 0)) 48 
{movsi+2} (nil)
(nil))
 
Could you tell me please, when 
were
48 {movsi+2} 
fields added and which is their 
meaning (what is +2 ?).
 
2.Are the instructions scheduled by 
sched.c in a 1-1 relation to asm output instructions (without taking into 
account the afterwards effect of peephole optimizations) ?
 
 
 Thank you very much.
 Adrian

The insn matched pattern #48 in the backend.  To find pattern #48 in the 
backend, first find the "movsi" pattern, then go forward two patterns (movsi+2)

The scheduler schedules insns; the relation of insns to assembly instructions
depends entirely on how many assembly instructions are emitted by your
patterns in the md file.

ie, if each pattern in the md file emitted a single assembly instruction,
then there would be a 1:1 relation, if each pattern emitted 5 assembly
instructions then there would be a 1:5 relation.  It all depends on how
you write your machine description.  We recommend you try to emit only
a single instruction in each pattern in your md file.
