--- Comment #4 from rsandifo at gcc dot gnu.org <rsandifo at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Author: rsandifo Date: Mon Jul 29 08:52:56 2019 New Revision: 273872 URL: https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?rev=273872&root=gcc&view=rev Log: Prevent tree-ssa-dce.c from deleting stores at -Og DCE tries to delete dead stores to local data and also tries to insert debug binds for simple cases: /* If this is a store into a variable that is being optimized away, add a debug bind stmt if possible. */ if (MAY_HAVE_DEBUG_BIND_STMTS && gimple_assign_single_p (stmt) && is_gimple_val (gimple_assign_rhs1 (stmt))) { tree lhs = gimple_assign_lhs (stmt); if ((VAR_P (lhs) || TREE_CODE (lhs) == PARM_DECL) && !DECL_IGNORED_P (lhs) && is_gimple_reg_type (TREE_TYPE (lhs)) && !is_global_var (lhs) && !DECL_HAS_VALUE_EXPR_P (lhs)) { tree rhs = gimple_assign_rhs1 (stmt); gdebug *note = gimple_build_debug_bind (lhs, unshare_expr (rhs), stmt); gsi_insert_after (i, note, GSI_SAME_STMT); } } But this doesn't help for things like "print *ptr" when ptr points to the local variable (tests Og-dce-1.c and Og-dce-2.c). It can also introduce wrong debug info for earlier references (second test in Og-dce-3.c) or make earlier references unavailable (first test in Og-dce-3.c). So for -Og I think it'd be better not to delete any stmts with vdefs for now. This also means that we can avoid the potentially expensive vop walks (which already have a cut-off, but still). The patch also fixes the Og failures in gcc.dg/guality/pr54970.c (PR 86638). 2019-07-29 Richard Sandiford <richard.sandif...@arm.com> gcc/ PR debug/86638 * tree-ssa-dce.c (keep_all_vdefs_p): New function.
