OK, I can rename the current "ssa" struct to "df" and do the grand
substitution (ie write a script, catch formatting problems) and produce
patch.  For me "dataflow" is the general idea, while "ssa" is what our
representation use, but I don't have problem with df name.

The rationale behind all the above macros was primarily to keep
amount of noise down as once those substitutions are done, tracking
mainline is quite impractical, so this was definitly not an option for
the branch that was open for quite some time.

I also do agree that the substitutions shall be done and probably
gradually we ought to add cfun argument to many of our APIs instead of
relying on the cfun global.

Do we preffer the macro way that is somewhat unfriendly to preprocessor,
rather than direct cfun->df->xxx accestors or inline functions with set
variants like we have for many df fields?

There was problems with the operand cache freeing and changing the
context in twisted way.  I can probably split this up, do grand
substitution up to operand caches first and deal with operand caches in
subsequent patch.  Once I did shared caches on the IPA branch, but the
subsequent changes to the mainline into tree-ssa-operands forced me to
revert that part, this should not be problem after merge, of course. But
it definitly needs some not completely obvious changes.

If this sounds like a plan, I will merge from mainline to IPA branch, do
the substitution.  OK? (I am asking as I would like to get the patch in
quite quickly then to not have too many rejects as probably about any
touched file will offend.

Thanks for looking into this!
