Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last reconfirmed| |2024-02-28 Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Store motion turns this into <bb 2> [local count: 10737416]: b_lsm.3_3 = _15(D); c_7 = a; <bb 3> [local count: 1063004408]: # c_12 = PHI <c_7(5), c_4(D)(2)> # i_13 = PHI <i_8(5), 0(2)> b_lsm.3_2 = c_12; i_8 = i_13 + 1; if (i_8 != 700) goto <bb 5>; [98.99%] else goto <bb 4>; [1.01%] <bb 5> [local count: 1052266995]: goto <bb 3>; [100.00%] <bb 4> [local count: 10737416]: # b_lsm.3_11 = PHI <b_lsm.3_2(3)> b = b_lsm.3_11; return; where ultimatively final value replacement fails because SCEV fails here: (analyze_scalar_evolution (loop_nb = 1) (scalar = c_7) (get_scalar_evolution (scalar = c_7) (scalar_evolution = )) ) (instantiate_scev (instantiate_below = 2 -> 3) (evolution_loop = 1) (chrec = c_7) (res = c_7)) (evolution_function = scev_not_known)) indeed there's no way to express the evolution of this induction variable which has just two values. Might be a simple thing to special case in final value replacement though. There we see just <bb 3> [local count: 1063004408]: # c_12 = PHI <c_7(5), c_4(D)(2)> ... <bb 4> [local count: 10737416]: # c_9 = PHI <c_12(3)> so the final value is niter == 0 ? c_4(D) : c_7.
