           Summary: if-conversion2 gets rid of branch and return when used
                    with builtins
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: wrong-code
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: optimization
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: pinskia at physics dot uc dot edu
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
GCC target triplet: powerpc-*-*

Compile the following code with -O and -maltivec:
void prefetch (void *p, int s)
{
  if (s)
    __builtin_prefetch (p, 1, 1);
}

void t(void *p, int s)
{
  if (s)
    __builtin_altivec_dst (p, 0, 0);
}
resulting asm:
_prefetch:
        dcbtst 0,r3
        blr
_t:
        li r0,0
        dst r3,r0,0
        blr
But compiling:
void g(int *p, int s)
{
  if (s)
    *p=0;
}
results in correct code:
_g:
        cmpwi cr7,r4,0
        beqlr- cr7             <--- branch on equal (cr7eq set) to link reg (aka return).
        li r0,0
        stw r0,0(r3)
        blr

I cannot reproduce this on Alpha with __builtin_prefetch or __builtin_rpcc, so it
is probably target specific.

The reason why it is target spefic is because PPC has condition branch return.
The RTL that is removed is
(jump_insn 11 10 20 0 (set (pc)
        (if_then_else (eq (reg:CC 120)
                (const_int 0 [0x0]))
            (label_ref 18)
            (pc))) 494 {*rs6000.md:13671} (insn_list 10 (nil))
    (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:CC 120)
        (expr_list:REG_BR_PROB (const_int 5000 [0x1388])
            (nil))))

I copied the wrong rtl, the correct one is:
(jump_insn 11 10 20 0 (set (pc)
        (if_then_else (eq (reg:CC 75 cr7 [120])
                (const_int 0 [0x0]))
            (return)
            (pc))) 495 {*rs6000.md:13686} (insn_list 10 (nil))
    (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg:CC 75 cr7 [120])
        (expr_list:REG_BR_PROB (const_int 5000 [0x1388])
            (nil))))

See the return some how if-conversion likes to remove this jump instruction.

Not a regression.

We now have

t:
        cmpwi 7,4,0
        beqlr- 7
        li 0,0
        dst 3,0,0
        blr

but the `prefetch' case is not solved yet.

Changing `prefetch' to take a memory_operand instead
of an address_operand would do the trick, I think.
This needs to be changed in generic code too, then.

This makes me think this also shows on other platforms?

Since a prefetch has no side effect, it is acceptable to execute it 
unconditionally. So IMHO we should close this bug. I cannot reproduce it on
Alpha, BTW.

Closing as the dst is fixed which should help the 970 and the dcbst case is fine to able to execute 
and does not need to be fixed.
