followed by a jump to the exit of the loop. Then delete the unconditional
jump after INSN.
- Note that it is possible we can get confused here if the jump immediately
- after the loop start branches outside the loop but within an outer loop.
- If we are near the exit of that loop, we will copy its exit test. This
- will not generate incorrect code, but could suppress some optimizations.
- However, such cases are degenerate loops anyway.
-
Return 1 if we made the change, else 0.
This is only safe immediately after a regscan pass because it uses the
case CALL_INSN:
return 0;
