Re: Problem with modyfying "addsi3" in machine description
Thank you for all hints! I'll use them in my code.

This sounds reasonable, but it was not stated in documentation.

Ok, but why? I saw in few places (I'm almost sure event in official
GCC sources), that SET was used with SImode. Why it's so important?

But what's so special about addsi3? For mulsi3 GCC is able to easily
change strategy and move immediate to register itself. Why doesn't it
work for addsi3 too? What "problem with offset during reload" actually
means?
Bye!
