Using a LET_EXPR makes the scope explicit. It is clear that the scope
of the tmp lasts during the evaluation of the let-body, which is
during the evaluation of the PLUS_EXPR. Using a SAVE_EXPR, the scope
of the temporary is "from the first time the SAVE_EXPR is evaluated
until the last time the SAVE_EXPR is evaluated". We cannot know what
this is without analyzing the entire body of the function.
OK, I see what you mean. But this is very much the exceptional case of
SAVE_EXPR. The most common case is when you are putting it in the size
of offset inside a type. You have the same scoping issues no matter what you
call it.
