Fix simplify_shift_const_1 handling of vector shifts
simplify_shift_const_1 handles both shifts of scalars by scalars and shifts of vectors by scalars. For vectors this means that each element is shifted by the same amount. However: (a) the two cases weren't always distinguished, so we'd try things for vectors that only made sense for scalars. (b) a lot of the range and bitcount checks were based on the bitsize or precision of the full shifted operand, rather than the mode of each element. Fixing (b) accidentally exposed more optimisation opportunities, although that wasn't the point of the patch. gcc/ 2016-11-15 Richard Sandiford <richard.sandiford@arm.com> Alan Hayward <alan.hayward@arm.com> David Sherwood <david.sherwood@arm.com> * combine.c (simplify_shift_const_1): Use the number of bits in the inner mode to determine the range of the shift. When handling shifts of vectors, skip any rules that apply only to scalars. Co-Authored-By:Alan Hayward <alan.hayward@arm.com> Co-Authored-By:
