--- Comment #3 from Andrew Macleod <amacleod at redhat dot com> --- (In reply to Richard Biener from comment #2) > Confirmed. Something for ranger/VRP "symbolic" handling. I'm not so sure. what is related? there are 2 loop values being bumped by different amounts. the loop is controlled by the it pointer, which is bumped by 4. The only connection between len5 and idx_14 is thru the calculation of end_7, which boils down to is begin+len_5 * 4. theres no way ranger is making that connection now. The loop boils down to: <bb 2> [local count: 118111600]: _1 = (long unsigned int) len_5(D); _2 = _1 * 4; end_7 = begin_6(D) + _2; if (begin_6(D) != end_7) goto <bb 5>; [89.00%] <bb 3> [local count: 850510901]: if (len_5(D) >= idx_14) // how to know this is always true goto <bb 5>; [100.00%] else goto <bb 4>; [0.00%] <bb 5> [local count: 955630225]: # idx_17 = PHI <idx_14(3), 0(5)> # it_18 = PHI <it_13(3), begin_6(D)(5)> it_13 = it_18 + 4; idx_14 = idx_17 + 1; if (end_7 != it_13) goto <bb 3>; [89.00%] else goto <bb 6>; [11.00%] This seems more like a loop thing. both values are being bumped by the loop, and the end condition is based on a calculation using len_5.. it seems like it should now the bounds of both ir and idx? or maybe it does and cant communicate it any more?
