67379c5b6ea4c87d69dea90ede51f33c9f5170c8 store-merging: Don't use sub_byte_op_p mode for empty_ctor_p unless necessary [PR117439]
encode_tree_to_bitpos uses the more expensive sub_byte_op_p mode in which
it has to allocate a buffer and do various extra work like shifting the bits
etc. if bitlen or bitpos aren't multiples of BITS_PER_UNIT, or if bitlen
doesn't have corresponding integer mode.
The last case is explained later in the comments:
/* The native_encode_expr machinery uses TYPE_MODE to determine how many
bytes to write. This means it can write more than
ROUND_UP (bitlen, BITS_PER_UNIT) / BITS_PER_UNIT bytes (for example
write 8 bytes for a bitlen of 40). Skip the bytes that are not within
bitlen and zero out the bits that are not relevant as well (that may
contain a sign bit due to sign-extension). */
Now, we've later added empty_ctor_p support, either {} CONSTRUCTOR
or {CLOBBER}, which doesn't use native_encode_expr at all, just memset,
so that case doesn't need those fancy games unless bitlen or bitpos
aren't multiples of BITS_PER_UNIT (unlikely, but let's pretend it is
possible).
The following patch makes us use the fast path even for empty_ctor_p
which occupy full bytes, we can just memset that in the provided buffer and
don't need to XALLOCAVEC another buffer.
This patch in itself fixes the testcase from the PR (which was about using
huge XALLLOCAVEC), but I want to do some other changes, to be posted in a
next patch.
