On a small number of ports, we only have 2 defined register classes.

So let's look at check_and_process_move from lra-constraints.c:

dclass = get_reg_class (REGNO (dreg));

were a right class for the pseudo, secondary_... hooks usually
are not define for ALL_REGS. */
return false;

/* Set up hard register for a reload pseudo for hook

if (dclass != NO_REGS && lra_get_regno_hard_regno (REGNO (dreg)) < 0)
{
dregno = REGNO (dreg);
reg_renumber[dregno] = ira_class_hard_regs[dclass][0];
}
The reference to ira_class_hard_regs is flagged by VRP as having an
out-of-bounds array reference. WTF!? Of course it's pretty obvious
once you look at the dumps...
On most targets dclass in this code will have a VR_VARYING range and as
a result no warning will be issued. But on the ptx and vax ports VRP is
able to give us the range ~[NO_REGS,ALL_REGS] aka ~[0,1] The
out-of-range array index is now obvious.
So I tried to look up the rules for enum values and it seems like we
can't prove that the code in the if statement is dead. However, can't we
at least prove that it is "dead enough" for warning purposes?
Ok for the trunk?
Hmm, seems like a deficiency in the warning code TBH, but I guess this
patch can't hurt. Maybe open a PR for improving the warning.
