--- Comment #6 from Segher Boessenkool <segher at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Oh sure, if all you want to do is extend the prepare_shrinkwrap function,
that just works there and it doesn't need to do a lot of profitability
trade-offs.  However it isn't very effective there.  It's better to do it
just before register allocation.  IRA tries to do a little, too, also not
very effective :-(

If you want to just extend prepare_shrinkwrap, so that it handles more than
just the first BB, what order should it try?  Should it be just greedy, or
should it look how it can get best gain?

Shrink-wrapping could wrap about 3x as many BBs as it does currently, but
just extending prepare_shrinkwrap doesn't get very far.  Which is not an
argument to not do a better job there, of course ;-)
