Hi,

Here is a patch which hadles the problem with optimization of BUILT_IN_CHKP_ARG_BND calls.  Pointer Bounds Checker expects that argument of this call is a default SSA_NAME of the PARM_DECL whose bounds we want to get.  The problem is in optimizations which may replace arg with it's copy or a known value.  This patch suppress such modifications.

This doesn't seem like a good fix.  I suppose you require the same on
RTL, that is, have the incoming arg reg coalesced with the use?
In that case better set SSA_NAME_OCCURS_IN_ABNORMAL_PHI.
I agree.  This seems like the wrong direction.

While I don't like abusing SSA_NAME_OCCURS_IN_ABNORMAL_PHI in this manner, setting that flag should give them precisely the behaviour they want. That makes me think SSA_NAME_OCCURS_IN_ABNORMAL_PHI is poorly named. But addressing that is separate from this patch.

Ilya, can you convert your code to set SSA_NAME_OCCURS_IN_ABNORMAL_PHI and drop this patch?
