Hi Kenneth, The documentation of auto-inc-dec still refers to flow and when I raised this on IRC folks suggested that you might have some documentation fixes if any, in this area.
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gccint/Incdec.html#Incdec The lines in the doco are as below : These embedded side effect expressions must be used with care. Instruction patterns may not use them. Until the `flow' pass of the compiler, they may occur only to represent pushes onto the stack. The `flow' pass finds cases where registers are incremented or decremented in one instruction and used as an address shortly before or after; these cases are then transformed to use pre- or post-increment or -decrement.
