The next change for Alpha will produce extra labels and branches in reload, which in turn requires basic blocks to be split at completion. We do this already for functions that can trap, so just extend the arrangement with a flag for the backend to use whenever it finds it necessary.
gcc/ * function.h (struct function): Add `split_basic_blocks_after_reload' member. * lra.cc (lra): Handle it. * reload1.cc (reload): Likewise. --- This was approved by Richard Sandiford in v1, so I'll commit it along with 6/7, which relies on it.
