The JUMP_LABEL field within a JUMP_INSN? That sounds like a bug.
yes, see the comment before the declaration of rtx_jump_insn::jump_label ()
it can be either a possibly deleted label, or a RETURN or SIMPLE_RETURN
expression. Memory usage concerns aside its a tempting design to
change, but at the moment itts definitely intended to work this way,
there's plenty of code that checks ANY_RETURN_P (JUMP_LABEL (x)).
Yes. But rtl.texi still says:
Return insns count as jumps, but since they do not refer to any
labels, their @code{JUMP_LABEL} is @code{NULL_RTX}.
And the comment at the top of jump.c:
Each CODE_LABEL has a count of the times it is used
stored in the LABEL_NUSES internal field, and each JUMP_INSN
has one label that it refers to stored in the
JUMP_LABEL internal field. With this we can detect labels that
become unused because of the deletion of all the jumps that
formerly used them. The JUMP_LABEL info is sometimes looked
at by later passes. For return insns, it contains either a
RETURN or a SIMPLE_RETURN rtx.
It's intentional, and really there's nothing wrong with it, or with
operands[] containing CODE_LABELs. The problem is trying to force a
static type system onto a dynamically typed data structure.
