Hi, GCC avoids multi-pointers/dangling-pointers of struct iv by allocating multiple copies of the structure. This patch is an obvious fix to the issue by managing iv structures in obstack.
Bootstrap on x86_64, will apply to trunk if no objection. Thanks, bin 2015-06-26 Bin Cheng <bin.ch...@arm.com> * tree-ssa-loop-ivopts.c (struct ivopts_data): New field iv_obstack. (tree_ssa_iv_optimize_init): Initialize iv_obstack. (alloc_iv): New parameter. Allocate struct iv using obstack_alloc. (set_iv, find_interesting_uses_address, add_candidate_1): New argument. (find_interesting_uses_op): Don't duplicate struct iv. (free_loop_data): Don't free iv structure explicitly. (tree_ssa_iv_optimize_finalize): Free iv_obstack.
