[Bug rtl-optimization/18992] New: delete_trivially_dead_insns made ineffective for two-address targets

[amylaar at gcc dot gnu dot org]

delete_trivially_dead_insns is no longer able to remove sequences
where the same register is first set and then modifed in a sequence of
instructions to compute a particular value, as it is common on two-address
machines.  This affects both the 3.4 series and 4.0 .  Details of the
problem and a patch are here:
