[Bug regression/16457] New: PowerPC - Combine two rldicr instructions into a single rlwinm.

["gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Description:
A non-optimal code sequence is illustrated.  Two rlidcr instructions could
be replaced by a single rlwinm.  Duplicate using gcc 3.5 and command line:

gcc -O3 -m64 -c test.c

Testcase:
char *q;

void foo (char *p) {
  unsigned int x;
  q = p - (x & ~1);
}

Assembly:
      rldicr 0,0,32,31
      ld 9,.LC0@toc(2)
      rldicr 0,0,32,62
      subf 3,0,3
      std 3,0(9)
      blr

  The two rldicr instructions can be combined into one rlwinm
  with the resulting code looking like this:

      ld 9,.LC0@toc(2)
     rlwinm 0,0,0,0,30
     subf 3,0,3
     std 3,0(9)
     blr
