Ping: [PATCH GCC/ARM] Fix problem that hardreg_cprop opportunities are missed on thumb1


> Hi,
> For thumb1, arm-gcc rewrites move insn into subtract of ZERO in peephole2
pass
> intentionally, then executes
> pass_if_after_reload/pass_regrename/pass_cprop_hardreg sequentially.
> 
> In this scenario, copy propagation opportunities are missed because:
>   1. the move insns are re-written.
>   2. pass_cprop_hardreg currently don't notice the subtract of ZERO.
> 
> This patch fixes the problem and the logic is:
>   1. notice the plus/subtract of ZERO in pass_cprop_hardreg.
>   2. if the last insn providing information about conditional codes is in
the
> form of "dest_reg = src_reg - 0", record the src_reg in newly added field
> thumb1_cc_op0_src of structure machine_function.
>   3. in pattern "cbranchsi4_insn", check thumb1_cc_op0_src along with
> thumb1_cc_op0 to save one comparison insn.
> 
> I measured the patch on CSiBE, about 600 bytes are saved for both O2 and
Os on

> arm-none-eabi+cortex-m0/arm-none-eabi+cortex-m3/i686-pc-linux and no
> regressions introduced.

Ping?

Hi Ramana, could you help me review this patch?
Hi Eric, Richard, could you help me review the change in regcprop.c?

Thanks very much
