["kazu at cs dot umass dot edu" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

/* Use ./cc1 -mh -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer.  */

extern long bar (long, long *);

void
foo (long z)
{
  long a[2];

  a[0] = z;

  while (1)
    {
      if (bar (z, a))
	return;
    }
}

Note that er5 is saved but not used anywhere in the function.

_foo:
	mov.l	er4,@-er7
	mov.l	er5,@-er7
	subs	#4,er7
	subs	#4,er7
	mov.l	er0,er4
