--- Comment #2 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Andrew Pinski from comment #1) > Works for me on the trunk: I almost want to say this was fixed by PR 101373. Before Pre we had: if (hash_6(D) == 0) goto <bb 3>; [0.00%] else goto <bb 4>; [100.00%] <bb 3> [count: 0]: rb_check_type.isra (0); goto <bb 6>; [0.00%] <bb 4> [local count: 1073741824]: _1 = (long int *) hash_6(D); _2 = *_1; if (_2 != 0) goto <bb 5>; [0.00%] else goto <bb 6>; [100.00%] <bb 5> [count: 0]: rb_check_type.isra (hash_6(D)); <bb 6> [local count: 1073741824]: _3 = (long int *) hash_6(D); _4 = *_3; Pre is able to figure that _3 and _1 are the same and even *_3 and *_1 would be the same except rb_check_type.isra (hash_6(D)) can do a noreturn depending on the argument even though it is a "pure" function otherwise.
