[Bug regression/40886] [4.3/4.4/4.5 Regression] No loop counter reversal for simple loops anymore

[rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #1 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2009-07-28 11:09 -------
The tree optimizers canonicalize the loop to

<bb 3>:
  # i_5 = PHI <i_3(4), 0(2)>
  # ivtmp.23_1 = PHI <ivtmp.23_4(4), 10(2)>
  f2 ();
  i_3 = i_5 + 1;
  ivtmp.23_4 = ivtmp.23_1 - 1;
  if (ivtmp.23_4 != 0)
    goto <bb 4>;
  else
    goto <bb 5>;

<bb 4>:
  goto <bb 3>;

But then IVOPTs chooses i as the induction variable again.

Maybe a DCE pass before IVOPTs magically would solve the regression - or
simply do not consider candidates without uses?
