--- Comment #23 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Just for the record we had the idea to apply the "bolt" of marking the latch control dependence (as done for possibly infinite loops) for loops containing stmts with side-effects. diff --git a/gcc/tree-ssa-dce.c b/gcc/tree-ssa-dce.c index c027230acdc..c07b60bf25c 100644 --- a/gcc/tree-ssa-dce.c +++ b/gcc/tree-ssa-dce.c @@ -695,6 +695,12 @@ propagate_necessity (bool aggressive) if (bb != ENTRY_BLOCK_PTR_FOR_FN (cfun) && !bitmap_bit_p (visited_control_parents, bb->index)) mark_control_dependent_edges_necessary (bb, false); + /* If the stmt has side-effects the number of invocations matter. + In this case mark the containing loop control. */ + if (gimple_has_side_effects (stmt) + && bb->loop_father->num != 0) + mark_control_dependent_edges_necessary (bb->loop_father->latch, + false); } if (gimple_code (stmt) == GIMPLE_PHI But while that works for CDDCE1, CDDCE2 is presented a slightly altered CFG that somehow prevents it from working. Which also means that both loops need to be considered infinite for the present bolting to work.
