Two cases go from accepted to rejected: old {r1.id=A, r2.id=A+delta} vs cur {r1.id=B, r2.id=B} old {r2.id=A+delta32} vs cur {r2.id=B+delta64} The first was rejected before this series -- the kind lived in ->id, so A+delta was a distinct idmap key -- and the previous patch lost that. The second was accepted before the series too, which is wrong: alu32 and alu64 deltas differ in sync_linked_regs(), so the states are not interchangeable. ->delta is inside the memcmp() window and is cleared together with the kind, so either case needs a kind with delta 0, e.g. "r6 = r5; r6 += 0". Only states_equal(..., EXACT) and env->explore_alu_limits reach regs_exact() for a scalar; regsafe() compares kinds itself on the ordinary path. Neither is easy to drive from a test program, so no selftest. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <[email protected]> --- v2: new.

Will do - it was one of the open questions in v2. Thx, -Vineet
