I explored the idea of calling maybe_constant_value for the whole
TARGET_EXPR in cp_fold. That has three problems:
- we can't always elide a TARGET_EXPR, so we'd have to make sure the
result is also a TARGET_EXPR;
- the resulting TARGET_EXPR must have the same flags, otherwise Bad
Things happen;
- getting a new slot is also problematic. I've seen a test where we
had "TARGET_EXPR<D.2680, ...>, D.2680", and folding the whole TARGET_EXPR
would get us "TARGET_EXPR<D.2681, ...>", but since we don't see the outer
D.2680, we can't replace it with D.2681, and things break.
With this patch, two tree-ssa tests regressed: pr78687.C and pr90883.C.
FAIL: g++.dg/tree-ssa/pr90883.C scan-tree-dump dse1 "Deleted redundant store: .*.a = {}"
is easy. Previously, we would call C::C, so .gimple has:
then #2 is removed in .fre1, and #1 is removed in .dse1. So the test
passes. But with the patch, .gimple won't have that C::C call, so the
IL is of course going to look different. The .optimized dump looks the
same though so there's no problem.
pr78687.C is XFAILed because the test passes with r15-5746 but not with
r15-5747 as well. I opened <https://gcc.gnu.org/PR117971>.
