Hi Eric,
The problem shows in loop-doloop.c when I introduce a loop end pattern
that replaces the first jump instruction (JUMP_INSN 15) with a pattern
that clobbers CC reg. However, the DF doesn't look like it works as
the doloop step cannot find the CC reg alive. Please see
loop-doloop.c:766. Hence, it introduces the doloop_end patterns, and
renders the compare instruction (INSN 14) dead code. leading to
errors.
Thanks,
Claudiu
