>Organization:
>Environment:
RedHat Linux 6.2 running on a PC (K6-II)
>Description:
Compiling with gcc -O2 the source attached, the loop optimizer fails to detect 
BIVs, and so misses the opportunity to apply all the loop 
optimizations. If you add the -no-gcse flag to the command line,
the loop optimizer works properly.
To check what the loop optimizer is doing, I'm looking at 
the debug file generated by -dL.
>How-To-Repeat:
Simply compile the source attached, with -O2, and with and 
without the -fno-gcse. Then look at the .loop debug files to
check the problem.
I'm using a dsp16xx target, but I think this problem will occur 
with any target, as it is before the backend.
>Fix:
Maybe enhancing the BIV detection method to get the BIVs in 
these cases. Another (dirty) solution would be to inhibit the 
GCSE to optimize the code in the LOOP_CONT.
