My target has a bit test (btst) instruction, so the C code:

   if (x & 256)

can be efficiently coded as (for example):

   btst    $r0,256
   jmp    nz,.L1

However, with my current patterns, it generates an explicit "and" and
"compare" using a scratch:

   and    $r1,$r0,256
   cmp   $r1,0
   jmp    nz,.L1

Looking through targets with a similar instruction - arc, rx, s390,
i386 - I see several different approaches. They all seem quite
complicated.

What is the best way of implementing this? Thanks.


PA also has a bit test, both constant and variable position.

(define_insn ""
  [(set (pc)
        (if_then_else
         (ne (zero_extract:SI (match_operand:SI 0 "register_operand" "r")
                              (const_int 1)
                              (match_operand:SI 1 "uint5_operand" ""))
             (const_int 0))
         (label_ref (match_operand 2 "" ""))
         (pc)))]


That's the constant position test. There's a similar pattern for testing at a variable position.
