[PATCH (7/7)] Mixed-sign multiplies using narrowest mode


Patch 4 introduced support for using signed multiplies to code unsigned multiplies in a narrower mode. Patch 5 then introduced support for mis-matched input modes.

These two combined mean that there is case where only the smaller of two inputs is unsigned, and yet it still tries to user a mode wider than the larger, signed input. This is bad because it means unnecessary extends and because the wider operation might not exist.

This patch catches that case, and ensures that the smaller, unsigned input, is zero-extended to match the mode of the larger, signed input.

Of course, both inputs may still have to be extended to fit the nearest available instruction, so it doesn't make a difference every time.

OK?

	* tree-ssa-math-opts.c (convert_mult_to_widen): Better handle
	unsigned inputs of different modes.
	(convert_plusminus_to_widen): Likewise.
