             Bug #: 54349
           Summary: _mm_cvtsi128_si64 unnecessary stores value at stack
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: neleai@seznam.cz


Consider following program:

#include <emmintrin.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int64_t foo(__m128i a){return  _mm_cvtsi128_si64(a);}
int64_t bar(double b){ return *((int64_t*)&b);}

A _mm_cvtsi128_si64 does unnecesary store into stack instead moving to register
directly. Same problem is present when interpreting double as integer.
