I have tested the following patch to remove (where easy) dead code in the way of sinking.
Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, applied to trunk. Richard. 2017-04-24 Richard Biener <rguent...@suse.de> PR tree-optimization/79725 * tree-ssa-sink.c (statement_sink_location): Return whether failure reason was zero uses. Move that check later. (sink_code_in_bb): Deal with zero uses by removing the stmt if possible. * gcc.dg/tree-ssa/ssa-sink-15.c: New testcase.
