[Bug optimization/15221] New: a jump threading opportunity blocked by a few intervening instructions

[kazu at cs dot umass dot edu]

We could turn foo into bar.  That is, if only a few insturctions are blocking
jump threading opportunity, we should put those blocking instructions to both
branches and perform jump threading.

In certain cases, including this one, we have a size win also.

int f0 (void);
int f1 (void);
int g0 (int);
int g1 (int);

int
foo (int a, int c)
{
  int tem;

  if (a)
    tem = f0 ();
  else
    tem = g0 (tem);
  tem += c;
  if (a)
    tem = f0 ();
  else
    tem = g1 (tem);
  tem + 1;
}

int
bar (int a, int c)
{
  int tem;

  if (a)
    {
      tem = f0 ();
      tem += c;
      tem = g0 (tem);
    }
  else
    {
      tem = f1 ();
      tem += c;
      tem = g1 (tem);
    }
  return tem + 1;
}
