Hi,
The RTL cprop pass in GCC operates by doing a local constant/copy propagation
first and then a global one. In the local one, if a constant cannot be
propagated (eg. due to constraints of the destination instruction) a copy
propagation is done instead. However, at the global level copy propagation is
only tried if no constant can be propagated, ie. if a constant can be
propagated but the constraints of the destination instruction forbids it, no
copy propagation will be tried. This patch fixes this issue. This solves the
redundant ldr problem in GCC32RM-439.
ChangeLog entries are as follows:

* cprop.c (find_avail_set): Return up to two sets, one whose source is
a register and one whose source is a constant. Sets are returned in
an array passed as parameter rather than as a return value.
(cprop_insn): Use a do while loop rather than a goto. Try each of the
sets returned by find_avail_set, starting with the one whose source is
a constant.

Thomas,
I know there were several followups between Steven and yourself. With
stage1 now open, can you post a final version and do a final
bootstrap/test with it?
Thanks,
jeff
