What do you mean by "you break SSA form" for the case Hao's patch is
solving? Do you mean some SSA form info could be lost?

The transformation of Hao's patch is to change a single wide store to two
separate narrow stores, but the address of those two narrow stores are
still sequential. For the memory stored here we don't have any SSA
information attached at all, right?

So what SSA form information could be lost? And what optimization could be
affected? Can you give an example?

Thanks,
