There's a limitation in the path discovery bits in the backward
threader that I ran into recently and I'd like to document it so we
don't lose track of it.
Basically we stop looking if we find a threadable path through a PHI,
without taking into account that there could be multiple
paths through a PHI that resolve the path. For example:
x_5 = PHI <10(4), 20(5), ...>
if (x_5 > 5)
I don't remember how we ended up skipping this, but it could existing
behavior from the old bits. It probably skipped multiple threads
through a PHI since the generic copier couldn't re-using existing
threading paths anyhow.
