[tree-profiling-branch PATCH] IPA constant propagation

[Razya Ladelsky <RAZYA at il dot ibm dot com>]

Hello,

Attached is the patch modified according to your suggestions:

This patch implements IPA CP (InterProcedural constant propagation).
The flag fipa-cp enables the IPA CP optimization.
 At this stage IPA CP needs to analyze all of the application's files, as
cloning of methods is not yet supported. This functionality will be 
supported 
shortly.
Therefore, for the moment the option -fipa-no-cloning  should be specified 

in order to perform IPA CP.

To apply the optimization on an application containing 
file1.c, file2.c, file3.c, we should use the command:

gcc -fipa-cp -fipa-no-cloning -combine file1.c file2.c file3.c 

Bootstrap and regression tests successfully passed on x86
and powerpc.

Comments are welcome.

Thanks,
Razya
