Hi, it seems that you are not redirecting the calls to the newly formed clone, so the clones gets optimized out. You can look at cgraph_redirect_edge_callee uses in ipa-cp to see how this is done. Note that there are two mechanizms for clonning functions, the real clones you use and virtual clones. It depends on what you are trying to do on what is better for you. Can you elaborate more on your pass? Honza > > I hope I haven't been too confusing, I do appreciate any help if possible. > > -Matt
