/* ??? This is disabled in genconfig, as this simple-minded
transformation can incredibly lengthen register lifetimes.
Consider this example from cexp.c's yyparse:
234 (set (pc)
(if_then_else (ne (reg:DI 149) (const_int 0 [0x0]))
(label_ref 248) (pc)))
237 (set (reg/i:DI 0 $0) (const_int 1 [0x1]))
239 (set (pc) (label_ref 2382))
248 (code_label ("yybackup"))
This will be transformed to:
237 (set (reg/i:DI 0 $0)
(if_then_else:DI (eq (reg:DI 149) (const_int 0 [0x0]))
(const_int 1 [0x1]) (reg/i:DI 0 $0)))
239 (set (pc)
(if_then_else (eq (reg:DI 149) (const_int 0 [0x0]))
(label_ref 2382) (pc)))
which, from this narrow viewpoint looks fine. Except that
between this and 3 other ocurrences of the same pattern, $0
is now live for basically the entire function, and we'll
get an abort in caller_save.
Any replacement for this code should recall that a set of
a register that is not live need not, and indeed should not,
be conditionalized. Either that, or delay the transformation
until after register allocation. */
/* See if this is a conditional jump around a small number of
instructions that we can conditionalize. Don't do this before
the initial CSE pass or after reload.
