Seems not the story. The sinkto basic block is not latch basic block at all.
The problem is about if-conversion, code of the case in slp-cond-1.c is like:
__attribute__((noinline, noclone)) void
f4 (void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < N/2; ++i)
{
int d0 = d[2*i], e0 = e[2*i];
int d1 = d[2*i+1], e1 = e[2*i+1];
k[2*i] = a[2*i] >= b[2*i] ? d0 : e0; <------example
k[2*i+1] = a[2*i+1] >= b[2*i+1] ? d1 : e1;
}
}
It is strictly formed in conditional operations, just like the output
of if-conversion pass before auto-vec.
Now sink pass sinks load of d0/e0 into then/else branch, since they
are partial dead code in the opposite branch, which corrupts the
canonical form.
Ideally, if-conversion pass should handle the sinked code and collapse
if-then-else into conditional operations.
But as showed by dump of if-conversion pass before auto-vect:
<bb 3>:
# i_39 = PHI <i_32(10), 0(2)>
# ivtmp.137_41 = PHI <ivtmp.137_38(10), 16(2)>
D.5150_5 = i_39 * 2;
D.5151_10 = D.5150_5 + 1;
D.5153_17 = a[D.5150_5];
D.5154_19 = b[D.5150_5];
if (D.5153_17 >= D.5154_19)
goto <bb 4>;
else
goto <bb 5>;
<bb 4>:
d0_6 = d[D.5150_5];
goto <bb 6>;
<bb 5>:
e0_8 = e[D.5150_5];
<bb 6>:
# d0_2 = PHI <d0_6(4), e0_8(5)>
k[D.5150_5] = d0_2;
It does not work as expected.
So I think sink pass is fine for this case, it is the if-conversion
pass need further investigation.
Comments? Thanks.
