Hi,

Attached is the patch that partially fixes bug 44576:  testsuite/gfortran.dg/zero_sized_1.f90 with huge compile 
time on prefetching + peeling.

This patch avoid useless computation of miss rate because, if delta (address diference) is greater than or equal to
cache line size, The two references will never hit the same cache size and thus all misses.

This patch reduces the compile time of the test case from 5m30'' to 1m20'' on an amd-linux64 system.
Note that without -fprefetching-loop-arrays, the compile time on the same system is 30'', and I am still
working on reducing the complexity of reuse analysis and miss rate computation.

The patch passed Bootstrapping and regression tests.

Is this patch OK to commit?

Thanks,

Changpeng

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] pr 44576: miss rate computation improvement for prefetching loop arrays.

	* tree-ssa-loop-prefetch.c (compute_miss_rate): Return 1000 (out of 1000)
	for miss rate if the address diference is greater than or equal to the
	cache line size (the two reference will never hit the same cache
	line).
