Easier is a relative term.<br>
I expect optimally choosing which freezes to eliminate where, etc, reduces to a covering problem variant (or just straight ILP) :)<br>

I think it's fine for GVN to fold them all to the same thing. The only difference between freeze(poison) and zero is that you can use a pre-existing register like RBP or RSP that says constant across the lifetime of the function so you don't need to materialize a zero if you don't have one already.<br>

That's clever! :)<br>
In our prototype we do the naive thing: reserve an arbitrary register for each freeze (without materializing anything). Your solution neatly reduces register pressure.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
