Tweak -Os costs for scalar-to-vector pass.
Back in June I briefly mentioned in one of my gcc-patches posts that a change that should have always reduced code size, would mysteriously occasionally result in slightly larger code (according to CSiBE): https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2021-June/573233.html Investigating further, the cause turns out to be that x86_64's scalar-to-vector (stv) pass is relying on poor estimates of the size costs/benefits. This patch tweaks the backend's compute_convert_gain method to provide slightly more accurate values when compiling with -Os. Compilation without -Os is (should be) unaffected. And for completeness, I'll mention that the stv pass is a net win for code size so it's much better to improve its heuristics than simply gate the pass on !optimize_for_size. The net effect of this change is to save 1399 bytes on the CSiBE code size benchmark when compiling with -Os. 2021-08-24 Roger Sayle <roger@nextmovesoftware.com> Richard Biener <rguenther@suse.de> gcc/ChangeLog * config/i386/i386-features.c (compute_convert_gain): Provide more accurate values for CONST_INT, when optimizing for size. * config/i386/i386.c (COSTS_N_BYTES): Move definition from here... * config/i386/i386.h (COSTS_N_BYTES): to here.
