PR middle-end/105853: Call store_constructor directly from calls.cc.
This patch fixes both ICE regressions PR middle-end/105853 and PR target/105856 caused by my recent patch to expand small const structs as immediate constants. That patch updated code generation in three places: two in expr.cc that call store_constructor directly, and the third in calls.cc's load_register_parameters that expands its CONSTRUCTOR via expand_expr, as store_constructor is local/static to expr.cc, and the "public" API, should usually simply forward the constructor to the appropriate store_constructor function. Alas, despite the clean regression testing on multiple targets, the above ICEs show that expand_expr isn't a suitable proxy for store_constructor, and things that (I'd assumed) shouldn't affect how/whether a struct is placed in a register [such as whether the struct is considered packed/ aligned or not] actually interfere with the optimization that is being attempted. The (proposed) solution is to export store_constructor (and it's helper function int_expr_size) from expr.cc, by removing their static qualifier and prototyping both functions in expr.h, so they can be called directly from load_register_parameters in calls.cc. This cures both ICEs, but almost as importantly improves code generation over GCC 12. For PR 105853, GCC 12 generates: compose_nd_na_ipv6_src: movzx eax, WORD PTR eth_addr_zero[rip+2] movzx edx, WORD PTR eth_addr_zero[rip] movzx edi, WORD PTR eth_addr_zero[rip+4] sal rax, 16 or rax, rdx sal rdi, 32 or rdi, rax xor eax, eax jmp packet_set_nd eth_addr_zero: .zero 6 where now (with this fix) GCC 13 generates: compose_nd_na_ipv6_src: xorl %edi, %edi xorl %eax, %eax jmp packet_set_nd Likewise, for PR 105856 on ARM, we'd previously generate: g_329_3: movw r3, #:lower16:.LANCHOR0 movt r3, #:upper16:.LANCHOR0 ldr r0, [r3] b func_19 but with this optimization we now generate: g_329_3: mov r0, gcc-mirror#6 b func_19 2022-06-07 Roger Sayle <roger@nextmovesoftware.com> gcc/ChangeLog PR middle-end/105853 PR target/105856 * calls.cc (load_register_parameters): Call store_constructor and int_expr_size directly instead of expanding via expand_expr. * expr.cc (static void store_constructor): Don't prototype here.
