--- Comment #3 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I think int foo (int x, double d) { if (x == 42) d = -0.0; if (d == 0.0) return 42; return 12; } behaves similarly with threading. The above function is basically return (x == 42 || d == 0.0) ? 42 : 12; In forwprop1 at -O2 we still have correct: <bb 2> : if (x_3(D) == 42) goto <bb 3>; [INV] else goto <bb 4>; [INV] <bb 3> : <bb 4> : # d_1 = PHI <d_4(D)(2), -0.0(3)> if (d_1 == 0.0) goto <bb 5>; [INV] else goto <bb 6>; [INV] <bb 5> : // predicted unlikely by early return (on trees) predictor. <bb 6> : # RANGE [irange] int [-INF, +INF] NONZERO 0x2e # _2 = PHI <42(5), 12(4)> but then comes ethread and turns that into: <bb 2> : if (x_3(D) == 42) goto <bb 3>; [INV] else goto <bb 4>; [INV] <bb 3> : # d_5 = PHI <-0.0(2)> goto <bb 6>; [100.00%] <bb 4> : # d_1 = PHI <d_4(D)(2)> if (d_1 == 0.0) goto <bb 5>; [INV] else goto <bb 6>; [INV] <bb 5> : // predicted unlikely by early return (on trees) predictor. <bb 6> : # RANGE [irange] int [-INF, +INF] NONZERO 0x2e # _2 = PHI <42(5), 12(4), 12(3)> as if -0.0 == 0.0 was false rather than true.
