[llvm-dev] Redundant copies

[Sjoerd Meijer via llvm-dev]

Yep, exactly that. We see quite a lot of them, most of them get cleaned up, but not always...

Cheers.

At this point however it doesn't (obviously) look like one (it still using different vregs) which suggests it might require a bit more of work to discover something that will ultimately lead to a redundant copy. I will investigate this option as well.

I correct myself here: in the MIR dumps (for this example) right after copy coalescing the copy is redundant even at vregs

  %14:gpr = COPY %0
  BEQ %6, $x0, %bb.3
  PseudoBR %bb.1

bb.1.for.body.preheader:
  %14:gpr = COPY %0

Kind regards,
