The backward threader copier cannot deal with the situation of
copying blocks belonging to different loops and will reject those
paths late. The following uses this to prune path discovery,
saving on compile-time. Note the off-loop block is still considered
as entry edge origin.
Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
I've split this out from the 'Support threading of just the exit edge'
patch under discussion - it's really an independent change.
Pushed.
* tree-ssa-threadbackward.cc (back_threader::find_paths_to_names):
Do not walk further if we are leaving the current loop.
