--- Comment #10 from Martin Jambor <jamborm at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I have proposed a patch to address this issue in:

https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2021-November/585756.html

Well, it prevents the infinite loop testcase from segfaulting when the
function infinite() is not declared with const attribute explicitely
but it is only internally auto-discovered to be ECF_CONST.  I think
that is OK because explicit attribute const should guarantee no
side-effects and infinite loop is IMHO one (though I have read how we
document it in our manual and I am not entirely sure that is how we
handle it, but IMHO the manual disallows infinite looping too).

(We also discussed the post-dominance check with Honza in person and at
least my impression is that the situation is not as dire as comment #9
might suggest.)
