Be stricter about CONST_VECTOR operands · 9b4473b6
The recent gen_vec_duplicate patches used CONST_VECTOR for all constants, but the documentation says: @findex const_vector @item (const_vector:@var{m} [@var{x0} @var{x1} @dots{}]) Represents a vector constant. The square brackets stand for the vector containing the constant elements. @var{x0}, @var{x1} and so on are the @code{const_int}, @code{const_double} or @code{const_fixed} elements. Both the AArch32 and AArch64 ports relied on the elements having this form and would ICE if the element was something like a CONST instead. This showed up as a failure in vect-126.c for both arm-eabi and aarch64-elf (but not aarch64-linux-gnu, which is what the series was tested on). The two obvious options were to redefine CONST_VECTOR to accept all constants or make gen_vec_duplicate honour the existing documentation. It looks like other code also assumes that integer CONST_VECTORs contain CONST_INTs, so the patch does the latter. I deliberately didn't add an assert to gen_const_vec_duplicate because it looks like the SPU port *does* expect to be able to create CONST_VECTORs of symbolic constants. Also, I think the list above should include const_wide_int for vectors of TImode and wider. The new routine takes a mode for consistency with the generators, and because I think it does make sense to accept all constants for variable-length: (const (vec_duplicate ...)) rather than have some rtxes for which we instead use: (vec_duplicate (const ...)) 2017-11-09 Richard Sandiford <richard.sandiford@linaro.org> gcc/ * doc/rtl.texi (const_vector): Say that elements can be const_wide_ints too. * emit-rtl.h (valid_for_const_vec_duplicate_p): Declare. * emit-rtl.c (valid_for_const_vec_duplicate_p): New function. (gen_vec_duplicate): Use it instead of CONSTANT_P. * optabs.c (expand_vector_broadcast): Likewise. From-SVN: r254586
