Provided the gimple bit works, this seems reasonable, though quite a big hammer. But given that we are nearing a release, I would be in favor of it.


Richard Henderson, what do you think?

Well, hooking could_trap_p sounds like an easy solution.


Gimple bits, on the other hand, are not.  Keeping those up-to-date is
always a real pain.  We have had several gimple bits in the history of
the TM code, and we've gotten rid of them all because they were too
invasive to maintain.

OTOH, I have no better suggestion...

Well, my solution wasn't pretty either.


However, Mr. Guenther's solution involves recalculating the bits when needed, so at least they won't be out of date.

Richards, what do y'all think of this approach? It is a big hammer as discussed, but keeps most of us happy for 4.7.

Tested on x86-64 Linux.
