Basically at out-of-SSA time we should try measures to allow coalescing of SSA vars across backedges which in this case cannot happen because of the life-range overlap. Not sure if for <bb 4> [local count: 955630224]: # ivtmp.3_18 = PHI <0(3), ivtmp.3_19(4)> i_16 = (int) ivtmp.3_18; MEM[base: a.0_1, index: ivtmp.3_18, step: 4, offset: 0B] = i_16; ivtmp.3_14 = ivtmp.3_18 + 1; ivtmp.3_19 = ivtmp.3_14; if (_6 != ivtmp.3_18) goto <bb 4>; [89.00%] else goto <bb 5>; [11.00%] we can somehow "undo" the change easily. I guess adjusting _6 to _6 + 1 and then comparing against ivtmp.3_14 might work (not to say there's a not propagated out copy resulting likely from late forwprop). I need to revisit the PR70359 fixes for GCC9 so let me take this one as well.
