Description David Goodwin 2010-10-07 09:50:24 PDT
The generated instructions include operations like:

	ebb08f0c	undefined

which should be:

	ebb00f0c	cmp.w	r0, ip

Note the 1-bit difference. This comes from high-order shift-amount bit which must be 0 in cmp and many other operations (apparently the undefined behavior when this is 1 is to just ignore the 1 and do the right thing, I assume that is why we aren't seeing any actual failure because of this). This stems from ShiftTypeAndAmount which stores shift type and amount as:

    union {
        struct {
            unsigned lo4 : 4;
            unsigned hi4 : 4;
        };
        struct {
            unsigned type   : 2;
            unsigned amount : 5;
        };
    } m_u;

Objects of this type are initialized with type = amount = 0, but note that this does not clear all hi4 bits. The attached patch increases amount to 6 bits to fix (we already ensure that the amount value is > 32).
