// David Li

Gcc is solid in performing dead function elimination and dead variable
elimination for statics. It handles cases when a dead variable is referenced
(via initializer) by other dead variables pretty well. The missing
opportunities noticed is that it fails to discover dead stores to static
variables where are never used -- thus missing the dead variable elimination
...

Example 1:

static int s;
static int* p =&s;

int foo()
{
   p = 0;      // Dead, not eliminated
}


Example 2:

static int g = 10;
static int* gp = &g;

int foo()
{
  gp = 0;      // Dead store
  return g;    // should be const proped
}

------- Comment #1 from rguenth at gcc dot gnu dot org  2008-02-25 11:39 -------
It looks like this needs IPA DCE/DSE.
