Re: Fill more delay slots in conditional returns

Yes, in the general case I agree that's too dangerous.  In this particular 
case, i.e. backward scan only, this might be plausible, although one has 
probably to worry about what happens if the insn is removed from the delay 
slot and put back into the RTL stream.

Patch attached (I've also reindented a block of code in reorg.c), tested on 
the SPARC and applied on the mainline.

OK.

Indeed, I spotted these two cases when I was playing with the allocation of 
registers for the private target.  They showed up only under very specific 
circumstances; with the default setting, neither makes a difference for the 
various testcases I'm looking at.  So, in the end, I probably won't pursue.

Thanks for your feedback.


	* reorg.c (fill_simple_delay_slots): Reindent block of code.
	* resource.c (mark_target_live_regs): Reformat conditional block.
