--- Comment #3 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The difference after DSE1 is (for main):

-  else

   _34 = (short int) iftmp.7_35;
   ai = _34;
   return 0;

where this then causes less CDDCE:

-marking necessary through iftmp.7_35 stmt iftmp.7_35 = PHI <1(10), 0(15)>
-processing: iftmp.7_35 = PHI <1(10), 0(15)>
+marking necessary through iftmp.7_35 stmt iftmp.7_35 = PHI <1(10), 0(11),

+marking necessary through _29 stmt _29 = (int) _28;
+processing: _29 = (int) _28;

the key here is I guess that if we'd split the CFG so that PHIs only
have _different_ arguments we would be able to reduce the number of
control dependences.

That seems like a general issue of CD-DCE, in this case exposed by the
extra DCE from DSE which in turn triggers block merging from CFG cleanup
(we trigger that once we removed a PHI which we did).

Now the question is whether there's a good way to alter the control
dependence query in a way to make this work without factoring the PHIs
first.  I suppose querying control dependence of the common dominator
of the same-argument PHI edges might work.
