[Bug c/33674] New: Nonexistent i386 register name `%SIL' used


GCC tries to use a register `%SIL' in my test on an i386 machine. However, the
lowest 8 bits of ESI can be directly accessed only in x86-64, but not i386. I
also observe in other tests the use of another two bad register names `%DIL'
and `%BPL'.

The following code can reproduce the bug:

static inline char contain (const char *ptr, int len, char c)
{
        char    r;
        int     od,oc;
        asm volatile (
                "cld\n\t"
                "repnz scasb\n\t"
                "sete %0"
                :"=r"(r),"=D"(od),"=c"(oc)
                :"c"(len),"a"(c),"D"(ptr)
        );
        return r;
}

__attribute__((regparm(3)))
int     test(int a, int b, int c, int d, const char *buf, int len, int ch)
{
        d += a * b;
        if (contain (buf, len, ch))
                a++;
        return a+b+c+d;
}


The command line and the error message:
$ gcc -save-temps -O1 -c test.c -Wall -Wextra
test.s: Assembler messages:
test.s:21: Error: bad register name `%sil'

I checked the assembly output and found that GCC had allocated `%SIL' for `r'
in function `contain'.

The following is my GCC version info:
