Yes, I have done that and now am looking to limit those numbers. For example, I don't copy back the ones that are not live-out registers. It works well but I am have an issue when recompiling the whole compiler.
I've simplified this to this, if in my reorg function, I do only this : FOR_EACH_BB (bb) { bitmap regs_forw = BITMAP_ALLOC (®_obstack); bitmap_copy (regs_forw, df_get_live_in (bb)); BITMAP_FREE (regs_forw); } It fails here: /home/beyler/cyclops64/src/cyclops64-gcc-4.3.2/libgcc/../gcc/libgcc2.c: In function '__divdi3': /home/beyler/cyclops64/src/cyclops64-gcc-4.3.2/libgcc/../gcc/libgcc2.c:1102: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault I'm looking into that now, am I allowed to be doing this in the reorg ? #0 df_get_live_in (bb=0xb7a9c8ac) at /home/beyler/cyclops64/src/cyclops64-gcc-4.3.2/gcc/df-problems.c:93 93 return DF_LR_IN (bb); Or is there a way to know if I'm allowed to do that copy?
