This will be hard in RTL. They are machine/ABI dependent, and they are
too low level. There is probably no easy way to do this in RTL.
I suggest looking at the tree-ssa branch. It adds a higher level IL
which is close to the current tree structure. It might be easier to get
the info you are looking for from there. If you already have a lot of
code written for an RTL optimizer though, then this may be more of a
distraction than a help, because you would have to rewrite a lot of
stuff. The tree-ssa branch already has some IPA stuff, such as an
implementation of Andersen's points-to analysis.
