> There is an extra “cmplt a1, a0" in the above code without cse_cc. This situation mainly occurs when a relatively short branch jump is converted into a conditional execution instruction. And the CSE pass can not reduce the same conditional comparison instruction . Here is the rtx sequence after “cse2” pass.

Thanks, this is very helpful.  I've verified this and I'm moving the 
pass as you suggest, adding a more detailed comment to the source to 
explain what the pass is for, and adding your test case to the 
testsuite.  This will be included when I resubmit the patches to address 
other review comments too.

Jeff, does that adequately address your concerns about whether the pass 
is useful?
