Yes, and you can also enable/disable divdi3 pattern at configure time.
Here are the steps to do that:
Step 1: Add new option -mdiv-di into target.opt
+ mdiv
+ Target Report Mask(DIV_DI)
+ Use hardware double words div instructions.
After that, you will have -mdiv-di and -mno-div-di options supported
in your target.
It creates a bit mask MASK_DIV_DI for particular use and
you can check TARGET_DIV_DI to determine whether -mdiv-di is issued.
Step 2: Use MASK_DIV_DI in your config.gcc
Assume that your target supports --with-arch=[v2|v3] in your configure options
where the double words div instructions are only enabled under v3 architecture.
You should add following content in config.gcc file.
+ target*-*-*)
+ supported_defaults="arch"
+
+ # process --with-arch
+ case "${with_arch}" in
+ v2)
+ target_cpu_default="${target_cpu_default}"
+ ;;
+ v3)
+ target_cpu_default="${target_cpu_default}|MASK_DIV_DI"
+ ;;
+ *)
+ echo "Available values are: v2 v3" 1>&2
+ exit 1
+ ;;
+ esac
Step 3: Use TARGET_DIV_DI in your machine description
There should be and (define_insn "divdi3" ...) in your target.md with
following pattern.
(Or 'define_expand' if you would like to expand it for some purposes.)
+(define_expand "divdi3"
+ [(set (match_operand:DI 0 ...)
+ (div:DI (match_operand:DI 1 ...)
+ (match_operand:DI 2 ...)))]
+ "TARGET_DIV_DI"
+ "div_di %0,%1,%2"
+ [(set_attr "type" "alu")
+ (set_attr "length" "4")])
After these three steps, you are able to enable/disable double word
div instructions at configure time.
Using 'configure --with-arch=v3 ...' to build your compiler with divdi
by default.
Using 'configure --with-arch=v2 ...' to build your compiler without
divdi by default.
Hope it helps. :)
