[patch] tree-cfg.c: Speed up thread_jumps () - Part 2


Hi,

Attached is a patch to speed up thread_jumps().

When we thread a jump, it is important to notice an infinite loop so
that we won't end up following forwarder blocks forever.

thread_jumps() in tree.cfg.c precisely checks for that case, except
that it does so twice in a row for nothing.

Consider the "for" loop shown in the patch.  When we get into the
loop, we have

  tree_forwarder_block_p (dest) == true

meaning that

  bb_ann (dest)->forwardable == 1

implying that the "if" statment

  if (!bb_ann (dest)->forwardable)
    break;

will never trigger.

The patch removes the "if" statement that never triggers.

Tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu on top of

OK to apply?
