Dear all,


Please clarify my doubt regarding copy propagation optimization.


(snip)


gsiVarA = gsiVarB + gsiVarC;


gsiVarB = 1 ; // One of expression's operand
is
redefined


gsiVarD = gsiVarA ; // Statement-B


(snip end)


As shown in the above snip, can the compiler use the result of
expression
(gsiVarB + gsiVarC) in Statement B instead of gsiVarA.


I expect the below result


(snip)


gsiVarA = gsiVarB + gsiVarC;


load R1, gsiVarB
load R2, gsiVarC
Add R1, R2
Store R1, R3


.... // gsiVarB is redefined.
....


gsiVarD = gsiVarA ; // Statement-B


Store R1, gsiVarD // Result of expression is used.


(snip end)


Please clarify whether the compiler can perform the above optimization.


Thanks and regards,
Kannan
