GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain

Why is nop insn has "mov_reg" type instead of "no_insn"?

Asked by Cosmin-Gabriel Samoila

Hello,

I was recently looking on gcc/gcc/config/arm/arm.md and noticed that "nop" insn has "mov_reg" type.
I know that return string was initially "mov r8, r8" and changed to "nop" but the type remained as "mov_reg"

Is there any reason why we are keeping this type instead of "no_insn" and how is instruction scheduling affected by this change?

Thank you,
Cosmin
