------- Comment #4 from aoliva at gcc dot gnu dot org 2010-01-07 13:53 ------- Yeah, it surprised me a bit too, but now that I looked into it I see it makes perfect sense. There was a PHI node before the debug stmt that expanded into this debug insn. The variable is indeed live at that location, even though in the first loop iteration it won't have been initialized yet. So the note is absolutely correct, and we somehow have to deal with it.
