Hi all,

A rotate of a signed integer is not recognized so far.

  int32_t f (int32_t x)
  {
    return (x << 5) | (int32_t)((uint32_t)x >> 27);
  }

The code above is unoptimized in contrast to a version consisting only
of unsigned integers.  I'm wondering if this is intended or not.  Since
GCC has well defined behavior for shifts where the first operand is
signed, I assumed that this also holds for rotates.

The attached patch adds a pattern to match.pd for such signed rotates.
Any comments about this?

Note, for the sake of simplicity the attached patch does not handle the
case where the input is a signed integer and the result is an unsigned,
i.e., the following case is not covered:

  uint32_t f (int32_t x)
  {
    return (x << 5) | ((uint32_t)x >> 27);
  }

My gut feeling was that it's not worth it to have another pattern for
such an impure rotate. Maybe I'm wrong?

Cheers,
Stefan

I wonder if we can leverage the bswap pass for rotate detection
(see find_bswap_or_nop which matches the symbolic number
against either 1:1 or byte-swapped variants, to be added would be
rotate and shift patterns).

That pass can only handle cases where the shift counts are multiple of
BITS_PER_UNIT, the whole infrastructure is based on being able to track
movements of bytes.

That's true, but also an artifact of the symbolic number encoding.

I'm pretty new to match.pd and in general to GCC.  Is there something
which speaks against solving this in match.pd?  If so and the bswap pass
is also not the right place, do you have something else in mind?

For match.pd the patterns tend to be unwieldly so currently this is
pattern-matched in tree-ssa-forwprop.c:simplify_rotate which is the
place I'd see to extend.
