On GIMPLE we see <bb 2> [local count: 1073741824]: *outl_4(D) = 0; if (c1_6(D) != 0) goto <bb 3>; [50.00%] else goto <bb 5>; [50.00%] ... <bb 5> [local count: 965079152]: # a_1 = PHI <1(3), 0(2)> *outl_4(D) = a_1; return 0; but I think tracer doesn't consider paths to exit aka tail duplication, likely because on GIMPLE we force a single return block. There's also no partial redundant store elimination.
