Consider: int foo (int a, int b) { int c = a; int d; if (a == c) d = a; else d = b; return d; }
Note that "a == c" always holds, so the whole function should collapse down to return a;. However, copy-prop on TCB outputs foo (a, b) { int d; int c; int D.1137; <bb 0>: c_3 = a_2; d_8 = a_2; # d_1 = PHI <a_2(0)>; <L2>:; d_4 = d_1; return d_1; } Note that we are still returning d_1. Not good. The problem is that we are not folding COND_EXPR_COND during propagation. -- Summary: [tcb] missed copy-prop opportunity Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: tree-optimization AssignedTo: kazu at cs dot umass dot edu ReportedBy: kazu at cs dot umass dot edu CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20762
