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.
