Agree, we do 'delete_basic_block (bb1)' and the frequency is not used in between, so the setting to 0 seems unnecessary. testing it: Index: tree-ssa-tail-merge.c =================================================================== --- tree-ssa-tail-merge.c (revision 193283) +++ tree-ssa-tail-merge.c (working copy) @@ -1488,8 +1488,9 @@ replace_block_by (basic_block bb1, basic_block bb2 bb2->frequency += bb1->frequency; if (bb2->frequency > BB_FREQ_MAX) bb2->frequency = BB_FREQ_MAX; - bb1->frequency = 0; + bb2->count += bb1->count; + /* Do updates that use bb1, before deleting bb1. */ release_last_vdef (bb1); same_succ_flush_bb (bb1); OK when validation completes ? thanks Christian
