OK. That's good to know. I scanned final and final_scan_insn and see
a couple places where we delete insns, but if I'm reading the code
correctly, they would result in seeing the NOTE_INSN_DELETED rather
than a real insn in the output routines.
So what code during final is deleting these insns?
It's the PA backend. For example,
/* If this isn't a sibcall, we put the load of %r27 into the
delay slot. We can't do this in a sibcall as we don't
have a second call-clobbered scratch register available. */
if (seq_length != 0
&& ! JUMP_P (NEXT_INSN (insn))
&& !sibcall)
{
final_scan_insn (NEXT_INSN (insn), asm_out_file,
optimize, 0, NULL);
/* Now delete the delay insn. */
SET_INSN_DELETED (NEXT_INSN (insn));
delay_insn_deleted = 1;
}
The insn is deleted so that it won't be emitted again. This is done in
a bunch
of places.
What's new is the verification after assembly output.
