Hi, while looking into profile mismatches introduced by the backward threading pass I noticed that the heuristics seems quite simplistics. First it should be profile sensitive and disallow duplication when optimizing cold paths. Second it should use estimate_num_insns because gimple statement count is not really very realistic estimate of final code size effect and third there seems to be no reason to disable the pass for functions optimized for size.
If we block duplication for more than 1 insns for size optimized paths the pass is able to do majority of threading decisions that are for free and improve codegen. The code size benefit was between 0.5% to 2.7% on testcases I tried (tramp3d, GCC modules, xlanancbmk and some other stuff around my hd). Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, seems sane? The pass should also avoid calling cleanup_cfg when no trheading was done and i do not see why it is guarded by expensive_optimizations. What are the main compile time complexity limitations?
