Back last year I made copyprop also propagate constants (if a copy chain ultimatively ends in a constant). At least I thought so, but it turns out I missed a piece.
Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, applied to trunk. Richard. 2011-03-25 Richard Guenther <rguent...@suse.de> * tree-ssa-copy.c (stmt_may_generate_copy): Copies from constants also generate copies. (fini_copy_prop): Handle constant values properly.
