--- Comment #3 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-01-17 15:21:36 UTC --- Small correction, the empty infinite loop is not split because of preheader creation, but because of force_single_succ_latches - the condition there causes edge split even when latch has single succ if header and latch are the same: if (loop->latch != loop->header && single_succ_p (loop->latch)) continue;
