-We're missing an obvious fold of a load into imul:
+We're codegen'ing multiply of long longs inefficiently:
-int test(long a, long b) { return a * b; }
+unsigned long long LLM(unsigned long long arg1, unsigned long long arg2) {
+ return arg1 * arg2;
+}
-LLVM produces:
-_test:
- movl 4(%esp), %ecx
- movl 8(%esp), %eax
- imull %ecx, %eax
- ret
+We compile to (fomit-frame-pointer):
-vs:
-_test:
- movl 8(%esp), %eax

+_LLM:
+ pushl %esi
+ movl 8(%esp), %ecx
+ movl 16(%esp), %esi
+ movl %esi, %eax
+ mull %ecx
+ imull 12(%esp), %esi
+ addl %edx, %esi
+ imull 20(%esp), %ecx
+ movl %esi, %edx

+This looks like a scheduling deficiency and lack of remat of the load from
+the argument area. ICC apparently produces:
+
+ movl 8(%esp), %ecx
+ imull 12(%esp), %ecx
+ movl 16(%esp), %eax
+ imull 4(%esp), %eax
+ addl %eax, %ecx
+ movl 4(%esp), %eax
+ mull 12(%esp)
+ addl %ecx, %edx
ret
+Note that it remat'd loads from 4(esp) and 12(esp). See this GCC PR:

We can fold a store into "zeroing a reg". Instead of:
