It's an acquired taste.

Trying 23 -> 24:
   23: r359:DI=zero_extract(r358:DI,0x1f,0x1)
      REG_DEAD r358:DI
   24: r356:SI#0=r359:DI
      REG_DEAD r359:DI
Successfully matched this instruction:
(set (subreg:DI (reg:SI 356 [ off ]) 0)
    (lshiftrt:DI (reg:DI 358)
        (const_int 1 [0x1])))
allowing combination of insns 23 and 24
original costs 4 + 4 = 8
replacement cost 4

r358 is known to have the high half zero:
   22: r358:DI=r357:SI#0^r341:SI#0

so this is correct.


The zero_extract(31,1) is transformed to a shift right, and that then
later is transformed to a zero_extract(32,1); there is no transform from
31 to 32 :-)

James' patch looks fine fwiw; it's a backend problem.
