[PATCH][AArch64] Use conditional negate for abs expansion

Wilco Dijkstra wdijkstr@arm.com
Tue Mar 3 16:19:00 GMT 2015


Expand abs into a compare and conditional negate. This is the most obvious expansion, enables
merging of the comparison into ALU instructions and is faster on all implementations. Bootstrapped &
regression tested.

int f(int x) { return abs (x + 1); }

Before:
        add     w0, w0, 1
        sxtw    x0, w0
        eor     x1, x0, x0, asr 63
        sub     x1, x1, x0, asr 63
        mov     x0, x1
        ret

After:
        adds    w0, w0, 1
        csneg   w0, w0, w0, pl
        ret

ChangeLog:

2015-03-03  Wilco Dijkstra  <wdijkstr@arm.com>

	* gcc/config/aarch64/aarch64.md (absdi2): optimize abs expansion.
	(csneg3<mode>_insn): enable expansion of pattern.
	* gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/aarch64/abs_1.c (abs64): update test
	for new abs expansion.  (abs64_in_dreg): likewise.
