RE: [GCC, ARM] armv8 linux toolchain asan testcase fail due to stl missing conditional code

[Shiva Chen <shivac at marvell dot com>]

Hi, Kyrill

Thanks for the tips of syntax.

It seems that correct syntax for

ldrb with condition code is ldreqb
	
ldab with condition code is ldabeq


So I modified the pattern as follow

  {
    enum memmodel model = (enum memmodel) INTVAL (operands[2]);
    if (model == MEMMODEL_RELAXED
        || model == MEMMODEL_CONSUME
        || model == MEMMODEL_RELEASE)
      return \"ldr%?<sync_sfx>\\t%0, %1\";
    else
      return \"lda<sync_sfx>%?\\t%0, %1\";
  }
  [(set_attr "predicable" "yes")
   (set_attr "predicable_short_it" "no")])

It seems we don't have to worry about thumb mode, 

Because we already set "predicable" "yes" and predicable_short_it" "no" for the pattern.

The new patch could build gcc and run gcc regression test successfully.

Please correct me if I still missing something.

Thanks,

Shiva

Use %(<suffix%) around the bit that changes for unified/divided syntax.
 The compiler will then put the condition in the correct place.

So:

+      return \"str%(<sync_sfx>%)\t%1, %0\";
