[Bug middle-end/18535] New: fix_irreducible_loops could be improved

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

If get_loop_exit_edges would return a VEC (edges) instead of a malloced array, we could improve the 
else stament of when we get the edges to be just an assigment of the SUCCS so we don't have an extra 
setting loop in this case.

The code in quesiton:
      if (bb->loop_father->header == bb)
        edges = get_loop_exit_edges (bb->loop_father, &n_edges);
      else  
        {
          n_edges = EDGE_COUNT (bb->succs);
          edges = xmalloc (n_edges * sizeof (edge));
          FOR_EACH_EDGE (e, ei, bb->succs)
            edges[ei.index] = e;
        } 
(we do not write to edges after this).
See how we just set the edges array to the edge.
