Hi all, I have instrumented a function call like foo(&a,&b) into the gimple SSA representation (gcc-4.5) and the consequent optimizations can not pass my instrumented code. The back traces are as followings. The error occurred when the pass dse tried to test if the call I inserted may use a memory reference. It is because the arguments &a is not a SSA_VAR or INDIRECT_REF, so the assert in function
bool refs_may_alias_p_1 (ao_ref *ref1, ao_ref *ref2, bool tbaa_p) gcc_assert ((!ref1->ref || SSA_VAR_P (ref1->ref) || handled_component_p (ref1->ref) || INDIRECT_REF_P (ref1->ref) || TREE_CODE (ref1->ref) == TARGET_MEM_REF || TREE_CODE (ref1->ref) == CONST_DECL) && (!ref2->ref || SSA_VAR_P (ref2->ref) || handled_component_p (ref2->ref) || INDIRECT_REF_P (ref2->ref) || TREE_CODE (ref2->ref) == TARGET_MEM_REF || TREE_CODE (ref2->ref) == CONST_DECL)); was violated. Does anyone know why the function arguments must be a SSA_VAR or INDIRECT_REF here? Have I missed to perform any actions to maintain the consistency of Gimple SSA? #0 0x00007ffff6fc8ee0 in exit () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00000000005ae4ce in diagnostic_action_after_output (context=0x1323880, diagnostic=0x7fffffffd870) at ../../src/gcc/diagnostic.c:198 #2 0x00000000005aed54 in diagnostic_report_diagnostic (context=0x1323880, diagnostic=0x7fffffffd870) at ../../src/gcc/diagnostic.c:424 #3 0x00000000005afdc3 in internal_error (gmsgid=0xddfb57 "in %s, at %s:%d") at ../../src/gcc/diagnostic.c:709 #4 0x00000000005aff4f in fancy_abort (file=0xe42670 "../../src/gcc/tree-ssa-alias.c", line=786, function=0xe427e0 "refs_may_alias_p_1") at ../../src/gcc/diagnostic.c:763 #5 0x00000000008a1adb in refs_may_alias_p_1 (ref1=0x7fffffffdab0, ref2=0x7fffffffdb50, tbaa_p=1 '\001') at ../../src/gcc/tree-ssa-alias.c:775 #6 0x00000000008a2b12 in ref_maybe_used_by_call_p_1 (call=0x7ffff6790630, ref=0x7fffffffdb50) at ../../src/gcc/tree-ssa-alias.c:1133 #7 0x00000000008a2d2e in ref_maybe_used_by_call_p (call=0x7ffff6790630, ref=0x7ffff6848048) at ../../src/gcc/tree-ssa-alias.c:1147 #8 0x00000000008a2dfa in ref_maybe_used_by_stmt_p (stmt=0x7ffff6790630, ref=0x7ffff6848048) at ../../src/gcc/tree-ssa-alias.c:1179 #9 0x00000000008bf275 in dse_possible_dead_store_p (stmt=0x7ffff683e820, use_stmt=0x7fffffffdca8) at ../../src/gcc/tree-ssa-dse.c:212 #10 0x00000000008bfeb9 in dse_optimize_stmt (dse_gd=0x7fffffffddd0, bd=0x156bd30, gsi=...) at ../../src/gcc/tree-ssa-dse.c:297 #11 0x00000000008c029d in dse_enter_block (walk_data=0x7fffffffdde0, bb=0x7ffff6a75068) at ../../src/gcc/tree-ssa-dse.c:370 #12 0x0000000000cc26a5 in walk_dominator_tree (walk_data=0x7fffffffdde0, bb=0x7ffff6a75068) at ../../src/gcc/domwalk.c:185 #13 0x00000000008c0812 in tree_ssa_dse () at ../../src/gcc/tree-ssa-dse.c:430 #14 0x000000000073af0a in execute_one_pass (pass=0x13cced0) at ../../src/gcc/passes.c:1572 #15 0x000000000073b21a in execute_pass_list (pass=0x13cced0) at ../../src/gcc/passes.c:1627 #16 0x000000000073b238 in execute_pass_list (pass=0x1312720) at ../../src/gcc/passes.c:1628 #17 0x000000000086e372 in tree_rest_of_compilation (fndecl=0x7ffff6b93500) at ../../src/gcc/tree-optimize.c:413 #18 0x00000000009fa7c5 in cgraph_expand_function (node=0x7ffff6be7000) at ../../src/gcc/cgraphunit.c:1548 #19 0x00000000009faa49 in cgraph_expand_all_functions () at ../../src/gcc/cgraphunit.c:1627 #20 0x00000000009fb07e in cgraph_optimize () at ../../src/gcc/cgraphunit.c:1875 #21 0x00000000009f9461 in cgraph_finalize_compilation_unit () at ../../src/gcc/cgraphunit.c:1096 #22 0x00000000004a9e93 in c_write_global_declarations () at ../../src/gcc/c-decl.c:9519 #23 0x00000000008180d4 in compile_file () at ../../src/gcc/toplev.c:1065 #24 0x000000000081a1c5 in do_compile () at ../../src/gcc/toplev.c:2417 #25 0x000000000081a286 in toplev_main (argc=21, argv=0x7fffffffe0f8) at ../../src/gcc/toplev.c:2459 #26 0x0000000000519c6b in main (argc=21, argv=0x7fffffffe0f8) at ../../src/gcc/main.c:35 Thanks, Hongtao Purdue University
