Hi,
Here is what I found:
1. The front-end does not delete j, k. You can see them in the dump produced
by ir_b2a -st.
2. The compiler does not reserve space on stack if a stack variable is not
used even at -O0.
3. As long as the variable is used, an amount of stack space is reserved.
The problem is that stack space reservation is happened during code
expansion while expanding WHIRL statement (see whirl2ops.cxx:4885 call to
Allocate_Object). Because of this, if a symbol is not used it will never be
reserved on the stack.
