IIRC best practice is not to expose auto-inc until the auto-inc pass as 
earlier passes don't know how to deal with them.  See "Incdec" in the 
developer manual.


I'm also not aware of a target where an autoinc happens in contexts 
other than in a MEM.  So you may run into problems with things that look 
like a simple reg->reg move -- insns 8 and 9 in your example.
