pr43165.c -Os -g exercises a bug in df-problems WRT the introduction of
debug temps. After pro_and_epilogue, the function was optimized to this:
push bp
mov bp,sp
# debug insn referencing bp
pop bp
I don't know why we bother to preserve and set up bp, it's not used in
nondebug insns (and even with -g0 we still emit it). GCC 4.5 did
better, but that's a different issue I haven't addressed.
The problem I address here is that the debug insn references bp, but
df-problems sees bp is dead at the debug insn during backward scanning,
and decides we have to emit a debug temp before its last use.
However, there isn't a last use: the set is dead, but it isn't regarded
as such because bp is in artificial_uses at the end of the block. For
this reason, df_create_unused_note refrains from emitting the note and
resetting the debug uses.
However, the decision to emit a debug temp before the last bp use
remains in effect, so when the backward scanning reaches the push bp, it
emits a debug temp bound to the *previous* value of bp, and replaces
the debug use of bp with that. Oops.
This patch arranges for us to not decide a debug use is dead if we won't
emit a REG_DEAD or REG_UNUSED note for it, because it is
artificially-used or an ignored stack reg. An alternative would be to
remove any pending dead_debug entry from the list when we encounter a
set, but this is cheaper and it *should* be equivalent.
With this patch, the debug insn remains using bp, and no debug temp is
introduced.
Regstrapped on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. Ok to install?

* df-problems.c (df_note_bb_compute): Do not add take note of
debug uses for whose REGs we won't emit DEAD or UNUSED notes.
