[PATCH] Fix PR optimization/15112


Hi Richard,

Do you remember the problem we ran into on the 3.3 branch with reload 
generating stores to read-only memory?  The problem was that a REG_EQUAL 
note attached to a pseudo and referencing a MEM/u was promoted by 
local-alloc to a REG_EQUIV note; then, as the pseudo didn't get a hard get, 
it was replaced by the MEM/u as the destination of the store.

My patch prevented reload from recording MEM/u as equivalent memory locations 
for pseudos.  It was eventually applied to the 3.3 and 3.3 RHL branches.

Now we have exactly the same problem on the 3.4 branch, with roughly the same 
testcase (files attached, with -O3 -funroll-loops).  Reload generates this:

(insn:HI 98 68 86 1 (set (mem/u/f:SI (symbol_ref:SI ("q") [flags 0x40] 
<var_decl 0x4021b360 q>) [2 q+0 S4 A32])
        (reg:SI 2 cx [orig:68 q ] [68])) 36 {*movsi_1} (nil)
    (expr_list:REG_EQUIV (mem/u/f:SI (symbol_ref:SI ("q") [flags 0x40] 
<var_decl 0x4021b360 q>) [2 q+0 S4 A32])
        (nil)))

for

extern const int q;

Again this comes from:

(insn:HI 98 68 86 1 (set (reg/v:SI 59 [ j ])
        (reg:SI 68 [ q ])) 36 {*movsi_1} (nil)
    (expr_list:REG_EQUIV (mem/u/f:SI (symbol_ref:SI ("q") [flags 0x40] 
<var_decl 0x4021b360 q>) [2 q+0 S4 A32])
        (nil)))

and (reg 59) didn't get a hard reg according to the logfile.


Should we put the patch on that branch too (bootstrapped/regtested on 
i586-redhat-linux-gnu without a hitch) or try something more sophisticated?

Thanks in advance.
