Neither is a part of the SUBREG case pointed to with an arrow.

    case SUBREG:
      if (!REG_P (SUBREG_REG (x)))
	/* This could be more precise, but it's good enough.  */
	return decompose (SUBREG_REG (x));
      val.reg_flag = 1;
      val.start = true_regnum (x);
      if (val.start < 0)
	return decompose (SUBREG_REG (x));    <---
      else
	/* A hard reg.  */
	val.end = val.start + hard_regno_nregs[val.start][GET_MODE (x)];
      break;

because true_regnum returns a non-negative number for a SUBREG with
REG in it.  Perhaps you can convert these "if"s to gcc_assert like so?

  gcc_assert (val.start >= 0);
