--- Comment #9 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The releases/gcc-11 branch has been updated by Richard Sandiford <rsand...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:a1fb76e041740e7dd8cdf71dff3ae7aa31b3ea9b commit r11-11468-ga1fb76e041740e7dd8cdf71dff3ae7aa31b3ea9b Author: Richard Sandiford <richard.sandif...@arm.com> Date: Tue Jun 4 13:47:36 2024 +0100 rtl-ssa: Fix -fcompare-debug failure [PR100303] This patch fixes an oversight in the handling of debug instructions in rtl-ssa. At the moment (and whether this is a good idea or not remains to be seen), we maintain a linear RPO sequence of definitions and non-debug uses. If a register is defined more than once, we use a degenerate phi to reestablish a previous definition where necessary. However, debug instructions shouldn't of course affect codegen, so we can't create a new definition just for them. In those situations we instead hang the debug use off the real definition (meaning that debug uses do not follow a linear order wrt definitions). Again, it remains to be seen whether that's a good idea. The problem in the PR was that we weren't taking this into account when increasing (or potentially increasing) the live range of an existing definition. We'd create the phi even if it would only be used by debug instructions. The patch goes for the simple but inelegant approach of passing a bool to say whether the use is a debug use or not. I imagine this area will need some tweaking based on experience in future. gcc/ PR rtl-optimization/100303 * rtl-ssa/accesses.cc (function_info::make_use_available): Take a boolean that indicates whether the use will only be used in debug instructions. Treat it in the same way that existing cross-EBB debug references would be handled if so. (function_info::make_uses_available): Likewise. * rtl-ssa/functions.h (function_info::make_uses_available): Update prototype accordingly. (function_info::make_uses_available): Likewise. * fwprop.c (try_fwprop_subst): Update call accordingly. (cherry picked from commit c97351c0cf4872cc0e99e73ed17fb16659fd38b3)
