That's because we do a renaming and a substitution. We have (in the middle of
scheduling, just scheduled insn 78):
262: dx:DI=[bp:DI-0x88]
72: xmm0:V4DF=[r9:DI+ax:DI]
78: {di:DI=di:DI+0x1;clobber flags:CC;} <--- we are here
73: xmm0:V4DF=xmm0:V4DF+[dx:DI+ax:DI]
74: [r9:DI+ax:DI]=xmm0:V4DF
75: xmm0:V4DF=[r10:DI+ax:DI]
263: dx:DI=[bp:DI-0x90]
76: xmm0:V4DF=xmm0:V4DF+[dx:DI+ax:DI]
77: [r10:DI+ax:DI]=xmm0:V4DF
Now we want to schedule insn 75 but xmm0 is busy in 74 and 73, so we rename it
to xmm8 and have:
262: dx:DI=[bp:DI-0x88]
72: xmm0:V4DF=[r9:DI+ax:DI]
78: {di:DI=di:DI+0x1;clobber flags:CC;}
459: xmm8:V4DF=[r10:DI+ax:DI] <--- we are here
73: xmm0:V4DF=xmm0:V4DF+[dx:DI+ax:DI]
74: [r9:DI+ax:DI]=xmm0:V4DF
461: xmm0:V4DF=xmm8:V4DF <--- copy after renaming
263: dx:DI=[bp:DI-0x90]
76: xmm0:V4DF=xmm0:V4DF+[dx:DI+ax:DI]
77: [r10:DI+ax:DI]=xmm0:V4DF
Then after scheduling insns 73 and 263 we have
262: dx:DI=[bp:DI-0x88]
72: xmm0:V4DF=[r9:DI+ax:DI]
78: {di:DI=di:DI+0x1;clobber flags:CC;}
459: xmm8:V4DF=[r10:DI+ax:DI]
73: xmm0:V4DF=xmm0:V4DF+[dx:DI+ax:DI]
263: dx:DI=[bp:DI-0x90] <--- we are here
74: [r9:DI+ax:DI]=xmm0:V4DF
461: xmm0:V4DF=xmm8:V4DF
76: xmm0:V4DF=xmm0:V4DF+[dx:DI+ax:DI]
77: [r10:DI+ax:DI]=xmm0:V4DF
and now we want to schedule insn 76. We substitute its rhs through a copy 461
but then xmm0 is again busy so we rename the target register to xmm9 and get
262: dx:DI=[bp:DI-0x88]
72: xmm0:V4DF=[r9:DI+ax:DI]
78: {di:DI=di:DI+0x1;clobber flags:CC;}
459: xmm8:V4DF=[r10:DI+ax:DI]
73: xmm0:V4DF=xmm0:V4DF+[dx:DI+ax:DI]
263: dx:DI=[bp:DI-0x90]
464: xmm9:V4DF=xmm8:V4DF+[dx:DI+ax:DI] <--- new renamed insn
74: [r9:DI+ax:DI]=xmm0:V4DF
461: xmm0:V4DF=xmm8:V4DF
466: xmm0:V4DF=xmm9:V4DF <--- copy after renaming
77: [r10:DI+ax:DI]=xmm0:V4DF
At this point insn 461 is dead but we do not notice, and it doesn't look easy.
I think there was some suggestion in the original research for killing dead
insn copies left after renaming but I don't remember offhand.
