Subject: Re: ICE in iv_analyze_def caused by
stale REG_UNUSED note
loop-iv does need notes, albeit indirectly through the single_set
function. single_set looks at the REG_UNUSED note, and if all but one
set have that note on it, then it asserts that a parallel set is a
single set. I do agree that this problem is pervasive through gcc.
Any pass that uses single_set is implicitly a user of reg ntoes.
