Hi all, In PR51505(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51505), Paolo Bonzini added the code to delete REG_EQUAL notes in df_remove_dead_eq_notes:
gcc/df-problems.c: df_remove_dead_eq_notes (rtx_insn *insn, bitmap live) { ... case REG_EQUAL: case REG_EQUIV: { /* Remove the notes that refer to dead registers. As we have at most one REG_EQUAL/EQUIV note, all of EQ_USES will refer to this note so we need to purge the complete EQ_USES vector when removing the note using df_notes_rescan. */ df_ref use; bool deleted = false; FOR_EACH_INSN_EQ_USE (use, insn) if (DF_REF_REGNO (use) >= FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER && DF_REF_LOC (use) && (DF_REF_FLAGS (use) & DF_REF_IN_NOTE) && !bitmap_bit_p (live, DF_REF_REGNO (use)) && loc_mentioned_in_p (DF_REF_LOC (use), XEXP (link, 0))) { deleted = true; break; } if (deleted) { rtx next; if (REG_DEAD_DEBUGGING) df_print_note ("deleting: ", insn, link); next = XEXP (link, 1); free_EXPR_LIST_node (link); *pprev = link = next; df_notes_rescan (insn); } ... } while I have a test case as below: typedef long myint_t; __attribute__ ((noinline)) myint_t hash_loop (myint_t nblocks, myint_t hash) { int i; for (i = 0; i < nblocks; i++) hash = ((hash + 13) | hash) + 0x66546b64; return hash; } before cse1: 22: L22: 16: NOTE_INSN_BASIC_BLOCK 4 17: r125:DI=r120:DI+0xd 18: r118:DI=r125:DI|r120:DI 19: r126:DI=r118:DI+0x66540000 20: r120:DI=r126:DI+0x6b64 REG_EQUAL r118:DI+0x66546b64 21: r119:DI=r119:DI-0x1 23: r127:CC=cmp(r119:DI,0) 24: pc={(r127:CC!=0)?L22:pc} REG_BR_PROB 955630228 The dump in cse1: 16: NOTE_INSN_BASIC_BLOCK 4 17: r125:DI=r120:DI+0xd 18: r118:DI=r125:DI|r120:DI REG_DEAD r125:DI REG_DEAD r120:DI 19: r126:DI=r118:DI+0x66540000 REG_DEAD r118:DI 20: r120:DI=r126:DI+0x6b64 REG_DEAD r126:DI 21: r119:DI=r119:DI-0x1 23: r127:CC=cmp(r119:DI,0) 24: pc={(r127:CC!=0)?L22:pc} REG_DEAD r127:CC REG_BR_PROB 955630228 ; pc falls through to BB 6 The output shows "REQ_EQUAL r118:DI+0x66546b64" is deleted by df_remove_dead_eq_notes, but r120:DI is not REG_DEAD here, so is it correct here to check insn use and find that r118:DI is dead then do the delete? Thanks, Xionghu
