Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jakub at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #10 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I think the REG_DEAD note isn't the problem here. At least, when I dump bb 2 in rest_of_handle_dse right before df_analyze call, there is (insn 6 3 7 2 (set (reg:CCZ 17 flags) (compare:CCZ (reg/v:DI 203 [ y ]) (const_int 0 [0]))) "pr99863.c":14:12 8 {*cmpdi_ccno_1} (nil)) (insn 7 6 8 2 (set (reg:QI 205) (eq:QI (reg:CCZ 17 flags) (const_int 0 [0]))) "pr99863.c":14:12 802 {*setcc_qi} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:CCZ 17 flags) (nil))) ... (insn 40 38 41 2 (set (reg:QI 220) (ne:QI (reg:CCZ 17 flags) (const_int 0 [0]))) "pr99863.c":15:11 802 {*setcc_qi} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:CCZ 17 flags) (nil))) but if I dump it right after df_analyze call, I see: (insn 6 3 7 2 (set (reg:CCZ 17 flags) (compare:CCZ (reg/v:DI 203 [ y ]) (const_int 0 [0]))) "pr99863.c":14:12 8 {*cmpdi_ccno_1} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/v:DI 203 [ y ]) (nil))) (insn 7 6 8 2 (set (reg:QI 205) (eq:QI (reg:CCZ 17 flags) (const_int 0 [0]))) "pr99863.c":14:12 802 {*setcc_qi} (nil)) ... (insn 40 38 41 2 (set (reg:QI 220) (ne:QI (reg:CCZ 17 flags) (const_int 0 [0]))) "pr99863.c":15:11 802 {*setcc_qi} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:CCZ 17 flags) (nil))) i.e. the problematic REG_DEAD note is gone and I think at this point DF knows that CC is live there. But replace_read has code to check for live hard regs, see note_stores (this_insn, look_for_hardregs, regs_set); in there etc.
