This patch adds a peephole2 to i386.md to implement the suggestion in
PR target/47949, of using xchg instead of mov for moving values to/from
the %rax/%eax register, controlled by -Oz, as the xchg instruction is
one byte shorter than the move it is replacing.
The new test case is taken from the PR:
int foo(int x) { return x; }
where previously we'd generate:
foo: mov %edi,%eax // 2 bytes
ret
but with this patch, using -Oz, we generate:
foo: xchg %eax,%edi // 1 byte
ret
On the CSiBE benchmark, this saves a total of 10238 bytes (reducing
the -Oz total from 3661796 bytes to 3651558 bytes, a 0.28% saving).
Interestingly, some modern architectures (such as Zen 3) implement
xchg using zero latency register renaming (just like mov), so in theory
this transformation could be enabled when optimizing for speed, if
benchmarking shows the improved code density produces consistently
better performance. However, this is architecture dependent, and
there may be interactions using xchg (instead a single_set) in the
late RTL passes (such as cprop_hardreg), so for now I've restricted
this to -Oz.

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.
