Hello All,
Some middle-end passes (those declared in tree-passes.h) are still unnamed.
I tend to believe that it would be helpful (mostly for gcc debugging
purposes) that every struct opt_pass (without exception) should be
uniquely named (and that this should be enforced, eg. in ENABLE_CHECKING
mode (essentially by registering each pass in an hash table in function
next_pass_1 of gcc/passes.c)
What do people think about that?
Except as a habit (which I think is a bad one) is there any reason to
have anonymous passes (those with a null pass->name), or (I don't know
if such beast exists) homonym passes (two different passes with equal
pass->name)?
Regards.
