             Bug #: 51182
           Summary: [ipa-iterations] running multiple passes of early IPA
                    on a file produces difference code when it shouldn't
    Classification: Unclassified

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Created attachment 25841

pre-procecessed source that produces the above code differances

As requested by Richard (http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-cvs/2011-11/msg00669.html),
I am testing the outstanding multiple iterations patch and reporting when
multiple early IPA passes produce differences in code generation that should
probably be gotten in one pass (or not at all).

The attached file is from the open source pmccabe project. When compiling with
-O1, there are register scheduling differences and the elimination of a nop
instruction when doing a second early IPA pass.

with -O1 --param eipa-iterations=1:
 2b3:   8d 6d 01                lea    0x1(%rbp),%ebp
 2b6:   48 98                   cltq   
 2b8:   48 8d 5c c3 f8          lea    -0x8(%rbx,%rax,8),%rbx
 2bd:   83 3d 00 00 00 00 00    cmpl   $0x0,0x0(%rip)        # 2c4 <main+0x180>
 2c4:   74 12                   je     2d8 <main+0x194>
 2c6:   48 89 de                mov    %rbx,%rsi
 2c9:   89 ef                   mov    %ebp,%edi
[...]
 429:   80 78 50 01             cmpb   $0x1,0x50(%rax)
 42d:   0f 1f 00                nopl   (%rax)
 430:   76 2e                   jbe    460 <stats_accumulate+0x4c>


with -O1 --param eipa-iterations=2:
 2b3:   44 8d 65 01             lea    0x1(%rbp),%r12d
 2b7:   48 98                   cltq   
 2b9:   48 8d 5c c3 f8          lea    -0x8(%rbx,%rax,8),%rbx
 2be:   83 3d 00 00 00 00 00    cmpl   $0x0,0x0(%rip)        # 2c5 <main+0x181>
 2c5:   74 13                   je     2da <main+0x196>
 2c7:   48 89 de                mov    %rbx,%rsi
 2ca:   44 89 e7                mov    %r12d,%edi
[...]

 42f:   80 78 50 01             cmpb   $0x1,0x50(%rax)
 433:   76 2e                   jbe    463 <stats_accumulate+0x49>

There are additional/different differences at -O2, but I'll file those in
another bug once I get feedback on this one.
