Why is distribute_notes not called on this? (Search for "We now know", 25 lines down). Ah, it is only called on the *new* notes, and it only deletes existing REG_DEAD/REG_UNUSED notes. You probably should delete a REG_EQ* here if the reg it refers to is not the same anymore / does not have the same contents. Well, except you cannot see the latter here, so you'll have to kill the note where the SET of the CC is changed. I'll have a look later; maybe this already helps though. Segher
