So I was going through the various DSE related bugs as stumbled across
67955.
The basic issue in 67955 is that DSE is too simplistic when trying to
determine if two writes hit the same memory address. There are cases
were PTA analysis can get us that information.
The unfortunate problem is that PTA can generate a single points-to set
for pointers to different elements in the same array. So we can only
exploit a special case. Namely when we get a PTA singleton and the size
of the store is the same size of the pointed-to object.
That doesn't happen in a bootstrap, but it does happen for the testcase
in the BZ as well as a handful of tests in the testsuite -- Tom reported
6 unique tests where it triggered, I ran my own tests where two more
were spit out. Not huge. But the cost is low.
All that I've done with Tom's patch is update the call into the PTA
system. It's very clearly Tom's work.
Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-linux-gnu. Installing on
the trunk.
