------- Comment #12 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-07-06 12:27 ------- I don't think we "used" it before either? Still the _computing_ of niters can be easily re-instantiated - it wasn't the expensive thing here. But I had the impression SCEV computes niters itself when needed, so the removal of the upfront computation was just an "optimization". Note that Zdenek added it to not do this expensive thing multiple times.
