Re: protect label from being optimized

Hi Joern,

The insn has a REG_LABEL (foo.c.110r.vregs) and the label also has a ref 
count of 1.

Does this mean that there is no way for me to handle this in RTL without 
changing
target independent code ?
In that case, since I don't want to change the target independent code, 
will it be
sufficient if I create a new pattern that holds the label number in the 
pattern and
during final pattern matching, uses this to spit the label manually ? 
Can I assume
that there won't be multiple labels with the same number ?

Thanks in advance,
