This is the only part I'm struggling with. It looks like you're trying to avoid setting prune_exprs if the MEM's address has certain properties (such as a reference to static memory). However, if my analysis of the problem is correct, that's not sufficient to solve the problem.

This code comes straight from compute_transpout.


Why do you think these checks aren't sufficient? A memory reference to a
constant pool is, well, a constant.

It may be that the second check

if (MEM_READONLY_P (e->expr)
&& !MEM_VOLATILE_P (e->expr)
&& MEM_NOTRAP_P (e->expr))
/* Constant memory reference, e.g., a PIC address. */
continue;

implies CONSTANT_POOL_ADDRESS_P, but I prefer to err on the side of
caution have both checks in place.
