--- Comment #3 from Bernd Schmidt <bernds at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-05-21 16:52:06 UTC --- Odd. The following is in 190r.asmcons: (insn 39 51 141 3 (set (reg:DI 135 [ D.1745 ]) (sign_extend:DI (reg:SI 132 [ j ]))) regehr.c:22 122 {*extendsidi2_rex64} (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:SI 132 [ j ]) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:DI 135 [ D.1745 ]) (nil)))) That insn has no purpose. We then run delete_trivially_dead_insns in IRA... but it happens after find_moveable_pseudos, and probably needs to happen before as well.
