[Bug rtl-optimization/31360] [4.2/4.3 Regression] rtl loop invariant is broken

["steven at gcc dot gnu dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Just a small heuristics problem.  This could be fixed by giving insns to move
with comp_cost - size_cost == 0 in gain_for_invariant a small gain anyway.  Or
maybe comp_cost should overrule size_cost.

Just as a demonstration of how trivial this is, consider this hack:

     }

   new_regs = 0;
+
+  /* Find instructions to move.  Nothing gained is nothing lost.  */
   while (best_gain_for_invariant (&inv, &regs_needed,
-                                 new_regs, regs_used, n_inv_uses) > 0)
+                                 new_regs, regs_used, n_inv_uses) >= 0)
     {
       set_move_mark (inv->invno);
       new_regs += regs_needed;


Looks to me like a small heuristics tweak and some benchmarking would get this
one out of the way with only a small effort.
