[Bug tree-optimization/19804] New: Missed jump threading opportunity on "else" arm of COND_EXPR

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

Consider:

int
foo (int a, int b)
{
  if (a == 0)
    if (b != 2)
      return 10;

  if (b == 1)
    return 10;

  return 20;
}

Here is t21.dom1:

foo (a, b)
{
  int D.1120;

<bb 0>:
  if (a_2 == 0) goto <L0>; else goto <L2>;

<L0>:;
  if (b_4 != 2) goto <L1>; else goto <L2>;

<L1>:;
  D.1120_7 = 10;
  goto <bb 6> (<L6>);

<L2>:;
  if (b_4 == 1) goto <L4>; else goto <L5>;

<L4>:;
  D.1120_6 = 10;
  goto <bb 6> (<L6>);

<L5>:;
  D.1120_5 = 20;

  # D.1120_1 = PHI <10(2), 10(4), 20(5)>;
<L6>:;
  return D.1120_1;

}

Note that edge from <L0> to <L2> can be threaded through L2.

This seems to be due to an artificial restriction in
tree-ssa-dom.c:dom_opt_finalize_block.

	      /* If we have a simple NAME = VALUE equivalency record it.
		 Until the jump threading selection code improves, only
		 do this if both the name and value are SSA_NAMEs with
		 the same underlying variable to avoid missing threading
		 opportunities.  */
	      if (lhs
		  && TREE_CODE (COND_EXPR_COND (last)) == SSA_NAME)
		record_const_or_copy (lhs, rhs);

This "if" should just say "if (lhs)".

But be careful though.  Making the above change seems to miss other jump
threading opportunities as far as I can tell from my coverage test.
I have yet to find a test case that would be less optimized with the above
change.

By the way, the comment above the "if" statement is just a cut-n-paste from
the "then" case.  It does not reflect what the "if" statement does though.
