Hi. I need your help again. I wrote my own backend for the gcc-4.6.2 and it works nearly perfectly. But there is a problem with the test case pr26180.c. In this special case the register (r8), which is used for the comparison, is not loaded. And i don't get why. C-Code (pr26180.c): ... x2 = ((x > 0)? (x): -(x)); ... Wrong translated assembler code: ... ;x > 0? cmpi.l r8,-2147483648 <- r8 is not used in the hole function and so it is not initialized with x jmp C,_L2 xori.l r8,-1 addi.l r8,1 _L2: ... If i only change the comparison integer from 0 to 1 all works fine: C-Code: ... x2 = (x > 1 ? x : (-x)); ... Translated assembler code: ... ;load r8 mov.l r8,fp addi.l r8,4 mov.l r9,r8 ldr.l r8,r9 ;x > 1? cmpi.l r8,-1 jmpn N,_L2 ;x2 = -x mov.l r8,fp addi.l r8,4 mov.l r9,r8 ldr.l r8,r9 xori.l r8,-1 addi.l r8,1 jmp T,_L3 _L2: ;x2 = x mov.l r8,fp addi.l r8,4 mov.l r9,r8 ldr.l r8,r9 _L3: ... So i you would like to ask you, which special pattern (machine description pattern (*.md)) is related to "x2 = ((x > 0)? (x): -(x));" or where should i search the problem.
