So, looking at some rtl dumps with uninitialized vars at -O2, I see that LR out is either the same as LIVE out, or contains some extra regs (the uninitialized ones). But this all is at the end of a bb which contains insns that set those registers (can_move_insns_across is only interested in test_set registers from the merge_live bitmap). Thus I believe it is fine both for corectness and even generated code quality to just use LR (i.e. LIVE vs. LR should make no difference on the crossjumping). That said, I'm currently also bootstrapping/regtesting following patch just in case: 2011-03-18 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR rtl-optimization/48156 * combine-stack-adj.c (rest_of_handle_stack_adjustments): Compute live problem if flag_crossjumping && optimize <= 1. --- gcc/combine-stack-adj.c.jj 2010-12-02 11:51:32.000000000 +0100 +++ gcc/combine-stack-adj.c 2011-03-18 18:02:04.000000000 +0100 @@ -551,7 +551,16 @@ gate_handle_stack_adjustments (void) static unsigned int rest_of_handle_stack_adjustments (void) { - cleanup_cfg (flag_crossjumping ?
