--- Comment #6 from Stefan Schulze Frielinghaus <stefansf at linux dot ibm.com> --- Looks like wrong liveness information. The problem is that df_analyze_loop only considers basic blocks which strictly belong to a loop which is not enough. During loop2_doloop basic block 9 (previously 8) embodies the CC consumer jump_insn 42 and is not part of the loop and therefore does not contribute to the liveness analysis. A quick and dirty experiment by forcing a merge with BB 9 diff --git a/gcc/df-core.cc b/gcc/df-core.cc index f0eb4c93957..79f37e22ec1 100644 --- a/gcc/df-core.cc +++ b/gcc/df-core.cc @@ -957,9 +957,11 @@ df_worklist_propagate_backward (struct dataflow *dataflow, if (EDGE_COUNT (bb->succs) > 0) FOR_EACH_EDGE (e, ei, bb->succs) { - if (bbindex_to_postorder[e->dest->index] < last_change_age.length () + if ((bbindex_to_postorder[e->dest->index] < last_change_age.length () && age <= last_change_age[bbindex_to_postorder[e->dest->index]] && bitmap_bit_p (considered, e->dest->index)) + || (strcmp ("loop2_doloop", current_pass->name) == 0 + && e->src->index == 6 && e->dest->index == 9)) changed |= dataflow->problem->con_fun_n (e); } else if (dataflow->problem->con_fun_0) shows that, now, CC is live at BB 6 and therefore doloop performs no transformation due to bool fail = bitmap_intersect_p (df_get_live_out (loop_end), modified); BITMAP_FREE (modified); if (fail) { if (dump_file) fprintf (dump_file, "Doloop: doloop pattern clobbers live out\n"); return false; } In a first try I enlarged the set of basic blocks for which df_analyze_loop is run to also include basic blocks which have a direct edge originating from a basic block of a loop. Of course, this solves this problem. However, in general this may not be enough. I'm wondering what the IL allows. Is it possible to have a graph containing not only outgoing edges of a loop but also ingoing? If so I think we would need to compute the set of basic blocks which are reachable from within the loop. Any thoughts?
