             Bug #: 54555
           Summary: (set (REGX) (CONST_INT B)) -> (set (STRICT_LOW_PART
                    (REGX)) (CONST_INT B)) is pessimising
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: rtl-optimization
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: schwab@linux-m68k.org
            Target: m68k-*-*


Postreload (reload_cse_move2add) transforms

 (set (REGX) (CONST_INT A))
 ...
 (set (REGX) (CONST_INT B))

into

 (set (REGX) (CONST_INT A))
 ...
 (set (STRICT_LOW_PART (REGX)) (CONST_INT B))

which is a pessimisation on m68k if REGX is a data register and B is a small
constant in range for moveq which can no longer be used for the second SET;
instead moveb is used which is bigger and also slower on <= m68030.

$ cat moveb.c
void foo (void);
void bar (int a)
{
  if (a == 16 || a == 23) foo ();
  if (a == -110 || a == -128) foo ();
}
$ gcc -O2 -S moveb.c
$ cat moveb.s
