Subject: [PATCH][ARM] Tweak arm_class_likely_spilled_p, 
MODE_BASE_REG_CLASS for Thumb-2
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 14:20:43 +0000
From: Andrew Stubbs <ams@codesourcery.com>
Organization: CodeSourcery
To: gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org

This patch is a rework of an old one:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-06/msg01080.html

The ARM parts of that patch were approved, but the target independent
parts were never reviewed (AFAICT), and the patch no longer applies.

I've updated the target-specific parts. As far as I can tell, the target
independent parts are no longer required, so I've dropped them.

Tested with no regressions for ARM mode and Thumb2 mode.

OK?

	gcc/
	* config/arm/arm.h (arm_class_likely_spilled_p): Check against
	LO_REGS only for Thumb-1.
	(MODE_BASE_REG_CLASS): Restrict base registers to those which can
	be used in short instructions when optimising for size on Thumb-2.
