RISC-V: Set SLOW_BYTE_ACCESS=1
When implementing the RISC-V port, I took the name of this macro at face value. It appears we were mistaken in what this means, here's a quote from the SPARC port that better describes what SLOW_BYTE_ACCESS does /* Nonzero if access to memory by bytes is slow and undesirable. For RISC chips, it means that access to memory by bytes is no better than access by words when possible, so grab a whole word and maybe make use of that. */ I've added the comment to our port as well. See https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2017-08/msg00202.html for more discussion. Thanks to Michael Clark and Andrew Pinski for the help! gcc/ChangeLog 2017-11-04 Andrew Waterman <andrew@sifive.com> * config/riscv/riscv.h (SLOW_BYTE_ACCESS): Change to 1. From-SVN: r254416
