nvptx: Transition nvptx backend to STORE_FLAG_VALUE = 1
This patch to the nvptx backend changes the backend's STORE_FLAG_VALUE
from -1 to 1, by using BImode predicates and selp instructions, instead
of set instructions (almost always followed by integer negation).
Historically, it was reasonable (through rare) for backends to use -1
for representing true during the RTL passes. However with tree-ssa,
GCC now emits lots of code that reads and writes _Bool values, requiring
STORE_FLAG_VALUE=-1 targets to frequently convert 0/-1 pseudos to 0/1
pseudos using integer negation. Unfortunately, this process prevents
or complicates many optimizations (negate isn't associative with logical
AND, OR and XOR, and interferes with range/vrp/nonzerobits bounds etc.).
The impact of this is that for a relatively simple logical expression
like "return (x==21) && (y==69);", the nvptx backend currently generates:
This patch tweaks nvptx to generate 0/1 values instead, requiring the
same number of instructions, using (BImode) predicate registers and selp
instructions so as to now generate the almost identical:
The hidden benefit is that this sequence can (in theory) be optimized
by the RTL passes to eventually generate a much shorter sequence using
an and.pred instruction (just like Nvidia's nvcc compiler).
This patch has been tested nvptx-none with a "make" and "make -k check"
(including newlib) hosted on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with no new failures.
