This patch updates the handling of temporary registers in postreload.c
to avoid very long build times in certain files.

By creating new registers instead of updating one existing one using
SET_REGNO it avoids going through the scan df structure.

Im new to gcc RTL and appreciate any feedback.

In the (inspired from real code) attached source, the time
for "reload CSE regs" went down from 20 usr seconds to less than 1.

2010-07-30  Martin Thuresson  <martint@google.com>

	* postreload.c (reload_cse_simplify, reload_cse_simplify_operands,
	reload_cse_regs_1): Define testreg in reload_cse_simplify_operands
	instead of passing it as function parameter.

Thanks,
Martin

But this also means generating heaps of garbage for the collector to 
collect.  I think it would be better to not loose the current optimization 
of doing just one gen_reg_RTX(), and rather create a variant of SET_REGNO 
that doesn't call df_ref_change_reg_with_loc; SET_REGNO_RAW or something 
(or just inline the "XCUINT (RTX, 0, REG) = N" instead of using SET_REGNO 
at that place).


Ciao,
Michael.

Thanks for the feedback. I like your suggestion of SET_REGNO_RAW.
I'll update my patch.

I have trouble reproducing the slowness.  Which target are you using?

It's a bit unfortunate, and probably avoidable, to create additional
garbage RTL.  Maybe what's really needed is
  df_set_flags (DF_DEFER_INSN_RESCAN);
at the top of postreload?  Can you try that?  Or, even simpler, avoid
the SET_REGNO macro, and check all other occurrences of it.  There seem
to be a few, e.g. in caller-save.c or ira.c, which also probably
shouldn't invoke df.

That's a possibility, but considering postreload is a heavy user of 
note_uses/note_stores, deferring rescans makes it impossible to switch 
it to use the operand caches someday.

Better, yes.
