I can speed it up by @@ -1631,7 +1619,20 @@ do_sd_constraint (constraint_graph_t gra flag |= bitmap_set_bit (sol, escaped_id); else if (v->may_have_pointers && add_graph_edge (graph, lhs, t)) - flag |= bitmap_ior_into (sol, get_varinfo (t)->solution); + { + /* For transitive closures, x = *(x + UNKNOWN), delay + propagation of the solution across the added edges + by marking sources as changed. */ + if (lhs == c->rhs.var) + { + bitmap_set_bit (changed, t); + flag |= true; + } + /* Else speedup solving by doing that here to save + iterations. */ + else + flag |= bitmap_ior_into (sol, get_varinfo (t)->solution); + } /* If the variable is not exactly at the requested offset we have to include the next one. */ as repeatedly walking all of 'sol' for 'sol = *(sol + UNKNOWN)' when adding the solution of one of delta(sol)'s member is slow. Using a temporary bitmap to collect all changes doesn't speed it up though, so the only effect of the above is that the forwarding is delayed until the next solver iteration (where eventually we discover and eliminate more indirect cycles).
