Thanks for your response. I did quite some stepping through the llc
passes, and it turned out what now looks fairly obvious:
The instructions containing the CCFLAGS which are not marked dead
in the dump below (line 3+) are reg-to-reg copies inserted by the PHI elimination.
In my backend, a mov instruction is currently implemented as an add with
constant 0 (affecting condition codes).
Now LiveVariables gets executed before PHI elimination, so I am trying
to figure out if there is code in PNE which is supposed to update the
defs. Otherwise I might try to re-run LiveVariables after PNE, or
some similiar approach combining these two passes - unless you tell
me they don't get marked dead because of an implementation flaw in my
backend (or something completely else : )
Thanks again,
Christian

sorry about that, but there is nothing I can do about it:
