While trying to make GCC remove some sign extensions in some code I got an RTL
sharing violation when enabling Sign-Extension Elimination. I am using
gcc-4.3-20071221 on an AMD64 FreeBSD system (no cross compilation).
$ gcc -c -Os -fsee sharing.c
sharing.c: In function 'ReducedTestCase':
sharing.c:52: error: invalid rtl sharing found in the insn
(insn 87 86 80 4 sharing.c:38 (set (reg/v:QI 65 [ nibble ])
(subreg:QI (reg:DI 81 [ nibble ]) 0)) -1 (nil))
sharing.c:52: error: shared rtx
(subreg:QI (reg:DI 81 [ nibble ]) 0)
sharing.c:52: internal compiler error: internal consistency failure
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
