At the time I wrote the patch I was more interested in pseudos. I expect that powerpc64 won't be greatly affected if hard regs were excluded from this fwprop optimization, but you need to discuss your patch with maintainers of this code. My opinion as a one-time contributor to fwprop doesn't count for much. -- Alan Modra Australia Development Lab, IBM
