Here is a simple testcase which shows the issue even /* { dg-do compile } */ /* { dg-options "-Os -fdump-tree-optimized" } */ _Bool g(int, int, int *a); _Bool addb_simple(int A, int B, int *Rp) { int ec=0; if(g(A,B,Rp)) ec = -777; return !!ec; } /* The call to g should be tail called. */ /* { dg-final { scan-tree-dump-times "tail call" 1 "optimized"} } */ PRE for -Os does not do partial redundancy elimination, only code hoisting and fully redundancy elimination which is why it is not doing it for -Os. What PRE does not notice is d_5 is not being used so it is fully redundant but I don't know if PRE/FRE is the right place for this.
