expanding movdi into 2 x movsi

["Jan Hoogerbrugge" <hoogerbrugge at hotmail dot com>]

Hi,

I don't define movdi in my target description and so far I had the 
impression that gcc was handling that for me by expanding a movdi into 2 
movsi's. However, this does not seem to work perfectly. The following case 
shows it:

struct O
{
       struct O *addr;
       long type;
};

extern struct O root;

struct O *foo()
{
       struct O y, z;

       z = *root.addr;

       z = *(z.addr);

       return z.addr;
}

The resulting code for the body is:

       .text
       .global _foo
_foo:
       .function
       ld32 r5 -> r5
       ijmpf r0 r2
       .endfunction

As you can see the reference to the global variable root has disappeared.

The problem disappears whenever I remove the type field from the struct. 
This makes that the struct becomes a SImode instead of a DImode. Also, it 
disappears whenever I rename the first assignment of z to y.

I this a gcc bug? Is there an easy workarond by defining a define_expand 
"movdi" that maps the move to 2 SImode moves? Any suggestions for a port 
where I can borrow some code from?

Jan
