Consider: int foo (int a, int b, int c, int d) { int x, y;
b = a; if (a == b) x = c; else x = d; if (x == c) return a; else return b; } Run ./cc1 -quiet -O2 -fno-tree-dominator-opts. Here is the result. foo (a, b, c, d) { int y; int x; int D.1145; <bb 0>: b_4 = a_3; x_11 = c_5; # x_1 = PHI <c_5(0)>; <L2>:; if (x_1 == c_5) goto <L3>; else goto <L4>; <L3>:; a_8 = a_3; goto <bb 4> (<L5>); <L4>:; b_7 = a_3; # a_2 = PHI <a_3(2), a_3(3)>; <L5>:; return a_3; } Note that x == c, but the copy-prop doesn't fold the "if" statement. This is because find_taken_edge no longer folds conditionals. -- Summary: copy-prop does not fold conditionals 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=20913
