I remember that it has been there even before the GNU GCC project started using cvs. Fortunately, we still have the translated history from RCS going backeven further... but the earliest mention of find_split_point in combine.c is shown as having been added in 'revision' 357 - the same one that combine.c was brought under RCS control, in February 1992.
find_split_point is something different, it is used to find a place where it should make sense to split a single insn into two. You're thinking of split_insns which is just a little bit younger (r727, April 1992).
