Mikael Morin <mikael at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |mikael at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #3 from Mikael Morin <mikael at gcc dot gnu.org> --- pre replaces usages of the 'e' global with a set of 'pretmp' and 'prephitmp' ssa registers. With gcc-13, the value of 'e' is reloaded directly after the call to 'foo', and that value is joined with a phi in the next bb: <bb 10> [local count: 7761689018]: foo (); pretmp_25 = e; goto <bb 15>; [100.00%] ... <bb 15> [local count: 8963573811]: # j_28 = PHI <1(10), j_30(24), 1(22), j_30(25), 1(26), j_30(20)> # i_29 = PHI <i_20(10), 0(24), i_19(22), 0(25), i_21(26), 0(20)> # prephitmp_38 = PHI <pretmp_25(10), prephitmp_26(24), prephitmp_26(22), prephitmp_26(25), prephitmp_26(26), prephitmp_26(20)> d.7_22 = d; _23 = d.7_22 + 1; d = _23; if (_23 != 0) goto <bb 27>; [94.50%] else goto <bb 18>; [5.50%] With gcc-14, the value of 'e' is reloaded later in the next bb, causing a dependency on 'e', even on paths not calling 'foo': <bb 5> [local count: 7761689018]: foo (); goto <bb 8>; [100.00%] ... <bb 8> [local count: 8963573796]: # i_28 = PHI <i_13(5), 0(12), i_13(15)> d.7_22 = d; _23 = d.7_22 + 1; d = _23; pretmp_10 = e; if (_23 != 0) goto <bb 17>; [94.50%] else goto <bb 11>; [5.50%] Later on this prevents copyprop from simplifying the 'pretmp' and 'prephitmp' values to 3 and remove the branch calling 'foo'.
