> The use of ax vs cx will not matter in the real world.
This is from a real world program (xterm) and it seems to matter, when using
eax the code is smaller.
Are you sure that the fact that eax is not used does not cover some other
problem?
Are the free registers picked at random for peepholes?
It might be the case that 4.0 was just using eax by chance, but that does not
mean the PR should be dismissed as invalid without understanding the underlying
problem.
