[Bug tree-optimization/31885] New: Not removing empty loop, scev not finding the correct result

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Hi, when working on the pointer plus branch I noticed that we fail to remove an
empty finite loop, we would fold &array p+ 4 into &array[1] and then scev would
get the incorrect result and not optimize it.
Here is a testcase which is producable on the mainline:
struct s {
  int *blah;
};

static struct s array[] = {
  { 0 }
};

void
foo (struct s *p)
{
  struct s *q = &array[1];
  while (p < q)
    p++;
}


------------- cut -----
The orginal function looked like:
void
foo (struct s *p)
{
  unsigned int n = 1;
  struct s *q = &array[n];
  while (p < q)
    p++;
}
