Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Last reconfirmed| |2015-09-14 Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The relevant pass is lower_vector_ssa which runs way before the last cd_cde. The issue is that _6 = {_11, _14, _17, _20, _23, _26, _29, _32}; _7 = BIT_FIELD_REF <_6, 32, 64>; _8 = (long int) _7; return _8; is only resolved very late in the forwprop pass _after_ the last DCE. I suppose vector lowering could be changed to fold all stmts that have vector operands (it doesn't touch _7 = BIT_FIELD_REF <_6, 32, 64> otherwise).
