Subject: [PATCH 00/13] remove phi-sources from removed branches
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2021 13:34:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210321123505.27993-1-luc.vanoostenryck@gmail.com> (raw)

This series, after some related and preparatory patches, contains
fixes for the problem of phi-sources being left in place after their
corresponding branches have been removed. This results in situations,
for example, where a phi-node has 3 arguments/inputs/sources but only
2 parent BBs and create all sort of problems, like:
* some dead code is not removed
* some optimizations involving phi-nodes are blocked (if-conversions)
* more importantly, these phi-nodes are invalid/meaningless and so
  it's impossible to reason correctly about them.

Note: This series only fixes *some* of these problems. Other probably
      still exists, especially when rewrite_branch() is used.

Luc Van Oostenryck (13):
  Revert "simplify CBR-CBR on the same condition"
  add testcases to check if phi-sources from removed targets are removed
    too
  remove insert_branch() redundant arg
  simplify remove_parent()
  fold remove_parent() into insert_branch()
  let insert_branch() reuse the terminating instruction
  move insert_branch() to flow.c
  let insert_branch() return a status
  rename insert_branch() to convert_to_jump()
  add remove_phisources()
  fix phisources during CBR-BR conversion
  use convert_to_jump() when converting a CBR with same targets
  fix phisources during SWITCH-BR conversion
