--- Comment #13 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Btw, PR98863 was the last one triggering place_phis rewrite but I'm not sure what actual testcase Richard used. There's plenty of SPEC testers so the original reported WRF case will show up again. Unpatched on the same machine as last comment: forward prop :1359.71 ( 96%) combiner : 29.95 ( 2%) TOTAL :1420.22 0.98 1421.51 596M 1420.22user 1.02system 23:41.57elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 1209924maxresident)k 0inputs+25096outputs (0major+355965minor)pagefaults 0swaps interestingly peak memory usage is almost unchanged.
