The testcase, under '-O -fsched-verbose-9 -fschedule-insns', generates
RTL like the following:
;; Function clear_modes
...
;; Start of basic block 2, registers live: 1 [1] 31 [31] 81 84
(code_label 16 15 18 2 ("blah"))
(note 18 16 19 "" NOTE_INSN_DELETED)
(jump_insn 19 18 0 (set (pc)
(if_then_else (ne (reg:CC 84)
(const_int 0))
(label_ref 11)
(pc))) 634 {jump-4} (nil)
(nil))
;; End of basic block 2
;; Function main
...
Now, basic block 2 has two exits. One exit goes back to basic block
1. The other goes off the edge of the procedure. Unfortunately,
haifa only notices the first one, because the second exit doesn't go
to any basic block, and thinks basic block 2 has only one exit; so the
branch must be taken with 100% probability:
;; ------------ REGIONS ----------
;; rgn 0 nr_blocks 2:
;; bb/block: 0/2 1/1
;; rgn 1 nr_blocks 1:
;; bb/block: 0/0
;; bb_prob(1, 1) = 100
For the test case, the branch is actually 0% probability, and haifa
then mis-schedules the procedure.
If the fix below is not acceptable, then you must go through
haifa-sched.c and fix every place where it examines the flow graph
(that is, everywhere in haifa-sched.c) to allow for blocks like block
2 in the above. The immediate problem is in compute_dom_prob_ps.

in a function has no other exits.
