[PATCH] match.pd: reassociate multiplications with constants


Hi,

This is a followup to https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-05/msg01545.html

Recently due to a fix for PR 80800 GCC has lost the ability to reassociate
signed multiplications chains to go from 'X * CST1 * Y * CST2'
to 'X * Y * (CST1 * CST2)'.  The fix to that PR prevents extract_muldiv from
introducing '(X * (CST1 * CST2)) * Y', which was wrong because it may cause
intermediate signed overflow (unexpected if Y == 0).

As mentioned in that thread, we can reassociate constants to outermost operands
instead: this is safe because CST1 cannot be 0 or -1, since those are handled
by other match.pd rules.

(in fact it's possible to reassociate negates too, and go from '(-X) * Y * CST'
to '(X * Y) * (-CST)' if (-CST) doesn't overflow (again, we know that CST != 1),
but I'm not sure how valuable that is in practice, so opted not to do that yet)

The following patch reinstates folding by adding a new match.pd rule that moves
constants to outermost operands, where they can be merged by fold_binary
machinery if their product doesn't overflow.  Bootstrapped and regtested on
amd64, OK for trunk?

	* match.pd ((X * CST) * Y): Reassociate to (X * Y) * CST.
