This patch enables optimizations, particularly GCSE, handle calculation 
of PIC addresses.  GCSE tracks only single instructions, so it can't 
handle two-instruction calculation of PIC address.

With this patch, calculations of PIC addresses are represented as single 
instructions allowing GCSE eliminate all but the first address 
calculation for global variables.

Any comments?  OK to check in?

The reg_equal note on the second instruction should have been enough
to solve this issue.  This is how it is optimized on PowerPC and some
other targets.  Why is not working for arm?

Thanks,

Yes. This is what we added GCSE's ability to eliminate redundancies
from REG_EQUAL notes for. If your PIC addresses have a REG_EQUAL note,
GCSE is (or should be) already able to eliminate redundant address
calculations.

Ciao!

You know, it turns out GCSE can eliminate calculation of PIC addresses 
on ARM.  When I started working on improving code hoisting the example 
with PIC address wasn't fully optimized without this patch.

Now, apparently, one of the other GCSE improvements (VBEout computation, 
probably) fixed the underlying problem.

Richard, unless you think the patch may be valuable for some other 
reason, I'm dropping it.

Thanks,

It was late in the night when I checked the generated code and, although 
GCSE of PIC addresses for ARM is now better, it is still not as good as 
with this patch.

GCSE cannot use (REG_EQUAL (symbol_ref)) note on the second instruction 
because can_assign_to_reg_without_clobbers returns false for symbol_ref 
when compiling PIC code.  (Symbol_ref) is not a 
LEGITIMATE_PIC_OPERAND_P, so it not a general_operand either.  The 
second check in can_assign_to_reg_without_clobbers returns false as (set 
(reg) (symbol_ref)) yields invalid instruction.

AFAICT, GCSE cannot optimize a bare symbol_ref for ARM PIC code because 
it has no guarantee that emit_move_insn (reg, symbol_ref) will generate 
simple enough code.

Improvements to GCSE'ing constants were able to optimize half of second 
and subsequent address calculations.

The patch stands for now.

Thank you,

Ping.

Improvements to code hoisting provide about 0.8% size reduction on Thumb 
PIC code.  Without this patch space reduction is much less.

Thank you,

s/Return true to/Return true if/

Other than that, this is ok.
