Hello!

I am trying to enable post-reload compare elimination pass on x86, and
I discovered a problem in the way redundant compares are eliminated.
The problem lies in the assumption that:

  (1) All comparison patterns are represented as

       [(set (reg:CC) (compare:CC (reg) (immediate)))]

which is not true for x86 or any target which exposes FLAGS_REG early
and defines SELECT_CC_MODE.

Following testcase:

--cut here--
int test (int a, int b)
{
 int lt = a + b < 0;
 int eq = a + b == 0;
 if (lt)
   return 1;
 return eq;
}
--cut here--

compiles to the following dump before entering post-reload compare
elimination pass:

(insn 8 4 9 2 (parallel [
           (set (reg:SI 4 si [orig:60 D.1710 ] [60])
               (plus:SI (reg/v:SI 5 di [orig:63 a ] [63])
                   (reg/v:SI 4 si [orig:64 b ] [64])))
           (clobber (reg:CC 17 flags))
       ]) cmp.c:3 253 {*addsi_1}
    (nil))

(insn 9 8 10 2 (set (reg:CCZ 17 flags)
       (compare:CCZ (reg:SI 4 si [orig:60 D.1710 ] [60])
           (const_int 0 [0]))) cmp.c:4 2 {*cmpsi_ccno_1}
    (nil))

    (nil))

       (nil)))

(insn 29 30 31 2 (set (reg:CCGOC 17 flags)
       (compare:CCGOC (reg:SI 4 si [orig:60 D.1710 ] [60])
           (const_int 0 [0]))) cmp.c:6 2 {*cmpsi_ccno_1}
    (nil))

       (if_then_else:SI (ge (reg:CCGOC 17 flags)
               (const_int 0 [0]))
           (reg:SI 1 dx [65])
           (reg/v:SI 0 ax [orig:59 eq ] [59]))) cmp.c:6 903 {*movsicc_noc}
    (nil))

The redundant-compare elimination pre-pass blindly eliminates (insn
29) from the sequence. The elimination is done without updating the
compare mode in (insn 9)! The correct approach would be to also update
the compare mode of (insn 9) to the mode of
targetm.cc_modes_compatible target hook, which in the case abowe would
be (CCZmode, CCGOCmode) -> CCGOCmode.

Attached patch fixes this problem by checking for mode compatibility
of redundant compare with previous compare before elimination, and
sets the mode of previous compare to mode, compatible with both
compares.

2012-02-10  Uros Bizjak  <ubizjak@gmail.com>

	* compare-elim.c (find_comparisons_in_bb): Eliminate only compares
	having mode compatible with the mode of previous compare.  Substitute
	compare mode of previous compare with the mode, compatible
	with eliminated and previous compare.

Patch was bootstrapped and regression tested with additional x86
specific patch that enables post-reload compare eliminations on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu {,-m32}. The complete patch is attached to this
message.

Is RTL optimisation part of the patch OK for mainline SVN and 4.6 ?

Uros.

This patch is ok for 4.8.

For 4.6 and 4.7 I would prefer that we simply not eliminate the compare.  I.e.

+	  enum machine_mode src_mode = GET_MODE (src);
+
 	  /* Eliminate a compare that's redundant with the previous.  */
 	  if (last_cmp_valid
+             && src_mode == last_cmp->orig_mode
 	      && rtx_equal_p (last_cmp->in_a, XEXP (src, 0))
 	      && rtx_equal_p (last_cmp->in_b, XEXP (src, 1)))
 	    {
...
-	  last_cmp->orig_mode = GET_MODE (SET_DEST (single_set (insn)));
+	  last_cmp->orig_mode = src_mode;


For 4.6 and 4.7, there are only two extant users of this pass and neither
of them use anything besides CCmode before compare-elim.c does its own
manipulation of the modes later.

Unfortunately, we need to update all uses of flag register with a new,
compatible mode, as well, similar to how compatible mode is handled in
CSE2 pass with cse_condition_code_reg in cse.c

The postreload compare elimination pass should be extended to handle
compare elimination for targets that expose FLAGS_REG early through
SELECT_CC_MODE, taking into account the fact that flags reg can live
past BB boundaries.

We do?  What subsequent pass really cares?
What goes wrong leaving things as they are?

Yes, please see an example in  [1] how CSE2 pass handles this.

I don't know if this is necessary, but when we merge arithmetic insn
with compare, we _do_ update the flags users, in the same way as CSE2
pass.

> What goes wrong leaving things as they are?

x86 tolerates wrong modes in flags users, so as far as x86 is
concerned, this is allowed. But I don't know if wrong, although
compatible modes, should be generated from a generic pass.
