--- Comment #6 from Aldy Hernandez <aldyh at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
[Bumping this up to a P1.]

The problem here is that we're incorrectly threading a path in the vrp-thread2
pass.  As there is only one registered thread in the dump file
(-fdump-tree-vrp-thread2-details), it's easy to find the culprit:

  Registering jump thread: (2, 6) incoming edge;  (6, 5) normal;

With a little bisecting, we can find the exact path as its being registered:

$ ./xgcc -B./ -O3 a.c -fdbg-cnt=registered_jump_thread:10,10 && ./a.out
***dbgcnt: lower limit 1 reached for registered_jump_thread.***
***dbgcnt: upper limit 10 reached for registered_jump_thread.***
Aborted (core dumped)

That is, the 10th attempt at registering a path.

If we turn on debugging in the solver (DEBUG_SOLVER in gimple-range-path.cc),
we can see the solver as it precomputes the SSAs along the path.  Basically, we
find the dbg counter and look at the dump prior to that:

***dbgcnt: upper limit 10 reached for registered_jump_thread.***
  Registering jump thread: (2, 6) incoming edge;  (6, 5) normal; 

Immediately before this, we see the solver output:

*********** path_range_query ******************

path_range_query: compute_ranges for path: BB 2, BB 6

6->8  (T) _7 :  int [1, 1480]
6->5  (F) _7 :  int [-64055, 0]

The problematic thread is out of BB6, so the threader thinks it knows enough
about _7 to solve _7 > 0.  Chasing back the definition of _7 we end up in _8,
which the solver incorrectly thinks is 0:

range_defined_in_block (BB2) for _8 is long long unsigned int [0, 0]

If we assume _8 is 0, shit rolls downhill from here.

Describing the process to get here makes it abundantly clear that we need to
improve the process of debugging this.  We need a way to turn on the solver
debugging from the command line (--param??), and not by some magic #define. 
Also, some counter that matches the path being registered with the equivalent
solver dump would be useful.  This way someone could easily find the
problematic thread in the solver dump.  I'll look into this.

Anywhoo...

The issue here is that range_on_path_entry is incorrectly returning UNDEFINED
if it can't find any incoming edges (excluding the entry block).  In this case
BB2's only predecessor is the entry block, so we return UNDEFINED by mistake. 
UNDEFINED means unreachable, so things go very badly, very quickly.

Here is a proposed patch I will test:
