             Bug #: 52000
           Summary: cross-jumping drops MEM attributes even when it makes
                    no changes to the code
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: rtl-optimization
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: rsandifo@gcc.gnu.org


flow_find_cross_jump calls merge_memattrs for each pair of
instructions that it was thinking of merging, regardless of
whether the merge takes place.  This can cause mem attributes
to be dropped unnecessarily.  See:
