Richard,

quoting you in http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2012-02/msg00618.html:
...
I think these fixes hint at that we should
use "structural" equality as fallback if value-numbering doesn't equate
two stmt effects.  Thus, treat two stmts with exactly the same operands
and flags as equal and using value-numbering to canonicalize operands
(when they are SSA names) for that comparison, or use VN entirely
if there are no side-effects on the stmt.

Changing value-numbering of virtual operands, even if it looks correct in the
simple cases you change, doesn't look like a general solution for the missed
tail merging opportunities.
...

The test-case pr51879-6.c shows a case where improving value numbering will help
tail-merging, but structural equality comparison not:
...
  # BLOCK 3 freq:1991
  # PRED: 2 [19.9%]  (true,exec)
  # .MEMD.1717_7 = VDEF <.MEMD.1717_6(D)>
  # USE = nonlocal
  # CLB = nonlocal
  blaD.1708 (5);
  # .MEMD.1717_8 = VDEF <.MEMD.1717_7>
  # USE = nonlocal
  # CLB = nonlocal
  aD.1712_3 = barD.1704 (7);
  goto <bb 5>;
  # SUCC: 5 [100.0%]  (fallthru,exec)

  # BLOCK 4 freq:8009
  # PRED: 2 [80.1%]  (false,exec)
  # .MEMD.1717_9 = VDEF <.MEMD.1717_6(D)>
  # USE = nonlocal
  # CLB = nonlocal
  blaD.1708 (5);
  # .MEMD.1717_10 = VDEF <.MEMD.1717_9>
  # USE = nonlocal
  # CLB = nonlocal
  aD.1712_4 = barD.1704 (7);
  # SUCC: 5 [100.0%]  (fallthru,exec)

  # BLOCK 5 freq:10000
  # PRED: 3 [100.0%]  (fallthru,exec) 4 [100.0%]  (fallthru,exec)
  # aD.1712_1 = PHI <aD.1712_3(3), aD.1712_4(4)>
  # .MEMD.1717_5 = PHI <.MEMD.1717_8(3), .MEMD.1717_10(4)>
  # .MEMD.1717_11 = VDEF <.MEMD.1717_5>
  # USE = nonlocal
  # CLB = nonlocal
  bazD.1706 (aD.1712_1);
  # VUSE <.MEMD.1717_11>
  return;
...
by structurally comparing the gimples in both blocks, we can see that these are
equal.
What we can't see, is that aD.1712_3 and aD.1712_4 have the same value. For
that, we need value numbering to number the vuses the same. And if we get value
numbering to number these values equal, we don't need the structural comparison.

In this case structural comparison cannot be used as fallback for
value-numbering. So, ok for trunk?

And if not ok, do you have a suggestion of how to deal with this otherwise?

Thanks,
