Hi.
Sorry for bigger latency. I'm going to fix the traversal and I was also
thinking about
PerFunction and Target optimization flags. Currently, one can have a pair of
functions
(one having for instance -fvar-tracking, second w/o) and use -fcompare-debug.
This is covered by ICF as it compares function attributes and one function will
have
__attribute__ ((optimize(("-fno-var-tracking")))). Second issue can happen with
LTO,
where one compilation unit can have -fvar-tracking and another not. To be
honest, I'm
unable to trigger divergence in ICF by adding GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1 to env
variables.
Ideal solution (next stage1) would be to not compare any 'target' and
'optimization'
attributes of a function. But rather compare just cl_optimization_node and
cl_target_node
with special argument (as suggested by Jakub), that some PerFunction flags
would be ignored
for comparison (all var_tracking_* can be put to this category). Which would
work with -fcompare-debug.
