--- Comment #9 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Ah, the patches do not fix the testcase because the testcase is _not_ the
PRE-creates-IV case. It's indeed simply hoisting/PRE at work transforming
# a_14 = PHI <a_10(, a_5(D)>
if (!b)
a_8 = a_14 + 1;
# a_2 = PHI <a_14(10), a_8(4)>
a_10 = a_2 + 1;
... = *(a_2 + 1);
to
# a_14 = PHI <prephimp_12, a_5(D)>
_4 = a_14 + 1;
if (b)
_3 = _4 + 1;
# a_2 = PHI <a_14, _4>
# prephitmp_12 = PHI <_4, _3>
... = *(a_2 + 1);
increasing register pressure mainly because nothing figures that a_2 + 1
in the dereference can be replaced by prephitmp_12 ...
So this is a missed SLSR opportunity or, in this simple form, a missed
PRE/CSE opportunity. Fixing that with the following (otherwise untested)
restores good code generation for the testcase:

/* If a formerly non-invariant ADDR_EXPR is turned into an

q = p + 1;

"back" to *q will be undone by forwprop/stmt folding later but in this
case the feeding stmt is a PHI node and not a pointer-plus. It still
means that the change might be a bit too disruptive at this point
(we could restricit it a bit by only handling the case where we don't
replace with a pointer-plus result).
