The testcase gcc.dg/tree-ssa/20030922-2.c FAILs on m68k (and possibly elsewhere), not on x86_64 though.
So on x86_64 ifcombine has "removed" the if but after dom1 we still have _14 = *_13; if (_8 != _14) goto <bb 3>; else goto <bb 5>; <bb 3>: target_bb.1_15 = target_bb; _16 = _8 != target_bb.1_15; _17 = _14 == target_bb.1_15; _18 = _16 & _17; if (_18 != 0) which shows that running ifcombine before DOM might not be the best idea. It also shows that the testcase should disable ifcombine to really test what it was supposed to test. And then it also fails on x86_64. VRP does optimize this case because it has a more powerful way to track equivalences (and does a quadratic job in trying to simplify compares using all equivalences of the lhs vs all equivalences of the rhs). Which is another hint at the fact that DOM maybe shouldn't treat equivalences derived from conditionals in the SSA_VALUE table where you can't really record both _14 = target_bb.1_15 and target_bb.1_15 = _14 (which would get you a nice cycle there). For the existing way of DOM handlign this I don't see anything in the testcase that could be used to build a new heuristic (in fact another heuristic would say that what we do now is good -- _14 dies at the point where we build the equivalency, target_bb.1_15 does not, so we don't want to propagate _14 because that will increase its lifetime!) So the following "fixes" the testcase to also FAIL on x86_64 and XFAILs it. Tested on x86_64, applied.
