Here dbg.value prevents both norecurse and readnone from being deduced.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>A lot of these are the more general issue of intrinsics not being marked with proper memory attributes as a form of attempted control dependence/optimization blocking/etc</div><div><br></div><div>Intrinsics.td even says this.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

So, it would be nice to fix this for norecurse, but it would be even nicer to fix it for intrinsics and attributes in general.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Nobody as of yet has signed up to fix this, because it often requires significant thinking about each intrinsic and what really should be happening to it, modeling that, and teaching optimizers to deal with it.</div><div><br></div><div>Instead the large hammer is chosen.</div><div><br></div><div>Eventually it'll matter enough to performance for someone to do the work :)</div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
