Jeffrey A. Law <law at redhat dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |law at redhat dot com --- Comment #17 from Jeffrey A. Law <law at redhat dot com> --- Couldn't this be seen as a failure to thread jumps? In the rs676361 testcase we have the following relevant blocks after DOM2: ;; basic block 2, loop depth 0 ;; pred: ENTRY aOldItem = getitem (); [return slot optimization] aNewItem_19 = 0; _9 = MEM[(bool *)this_4(D)]; if (_9 != 0) goto <bb 3>; else goto <bb 4>; ;; succ: 3 ;; 4 ;; basic block 3, loop depth 0 ;; pred: 2 aNewItem$8_22 = MEM[(const long unsigned int &)this_4(D) + 8]; aNewItem$8_20 = aNewItem$8_22; aNewItem_21 = 1; ;; succ: 4 ;; basic block 4, loop depth 0 ;; pred: 3 ;; 2 # aNewItem_24 = PHI <1(3), 0(2)> # aNewItem$8_23 = PHI <aNewItem$8_22(3), aNewItem$8_6(D)(2)> _5 = MEM[(bool *)&aOldItem]; _10 = ~_5; _11 = VIEW_CONVERT_EXPR<const bool>(aNewItem_24); _12 = ~_11; if (_10 == _12) goto <bb 5>; else goto <bb 7>; ;; succ: 5 ;; 7 ;; basic block 5, loop depth 0 ;; pred: 4 if (_10 != 0) goto <bb 7>; else goto <bb 6>; ;; succ: 7 ;; 6 ;; basic block 6, loop depth 0 ;; pred: 5 _13 = MEM[(const long unsigned int &)&aOldItem + 8]; aNewItem$8_14 = aNewItem$8_23; iftmp.4_15 = _13 == aNewItem$8_23; _16 = ~iftmp.4_15; _17 = (int) _16; ;; succ: 7 The key here is that we know the value of _12 depending on how we reach block #4. If BB4 then transfers control to block #5 we'll also know the value of _10 which would allow us to thread jumps and I believe simplifies things enough to avoid the false positive, at least on the reduced case. I haven't tried case from Sergey yet. This appears to be caused by a few deficiencies in jump threading. None appear to be major issues though.
