But I wrote the pass while I was at Red Hat, so I think the
attribution is appropriate.

Regarding the usefulness of the pass.  It's really not very useful in
general, it is a benchmark-specific optimization.  I don't think there
is "real" code out there that can benefit from this.  But the pass is
very simplistic, so if someone volunteers to maintain it I guess I
don't have any problem enabling it with some -f switch.


Diego.
