Ok with changing the gcc_assert to
if (SSA_NAME_IN_FREE_LIST (use))
{
error ("statement uses released SSA name");
debug_gimple_stmt (stmt);
err = true;
}
and after checking all stmts
if (err)
internal_error ("cannot update SSA form");
you might want to push/pop TV_TREE_STMT_VERIFY around all this
as well.
Thanks,
Richard.
