Hello! Attached patch is a different approach to the problem of split return copies in create_pre_exit. It turns out that for vzeroupper insertion pass, we actually don't need to insert a mode switch before the return copy, it is enough to split edge to exit block - so we can emit vzeroupper at the function exit edge. Since x86 is the only target that uses optimize mode switching after reload, I took the liberty and used !reload_completed for the condition when we don't need to search for return copy. Sure, with the big comment as evident from the patch. 2018-11-20 Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com> PR target/88070 * mode-switching.c (create_pre_exit): After reload, always split the fallthrough edge to the exit block. testsuite/ChangeLog: 2018-11-20 Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@gmail.com> PR target/88070 * gcc.target/i386/pr88070.c: New test.
