Dale,
I just found that macro doesn't always work well, for any complicated
operands like: max(a, ++b), max(a+b, c), max(a, foo(c)), gcc won't
use max insn for them, it only use max insn for max(a,b).
In addition, if I have more than one maxs/mins, it seems gcc will
not generate max/min for them, could you give me some help on that?
Thanks a lot.

I tried my gcc with definition of sminsi3/smaxsi3 and I dumpped
all debug info, gcc always treats min as a function call in my
test.c.00.rtl through test.c.30.dbr:
(call (mem:SI (symbol_ref/v:SI ("smin")) ))
I think once gcc found that is a function call, it would not
optimize it, am I right?
What I should get is something like "(smin: SI ...", is that right?
So probably I need to change something other than xxx.md?
Thanks.
If you're using it as a function of course gcc will treat it as
a function. It is not one of the standard C functions so gcc does
not do anything special to it (and is not allowed to, that would
break standard conformance). The usual way to get min/max
functionality
in C is to put a macro definition in a header file somewhere,
something
like
#define MAX(x,y) ((x>y) ? x : y)
(watch out for ++ operators, improvement left as an exercise)
