We have the unfortunate situation that expand may leave us with
unreachable blocks that are required by proper rtl_eh functioning
(unreachable landing-pads, that is).  This is bad for any verification
pass the pass manager may want to call that requires dominators to
be computed (I'm thinking of verifying loop structures, which I really
want to do after expand as I am trying to preserve loop structures
from tree loop optimization until after RTL loop optimization).

This limitation has been introduced with the introduction of
rtl_eh - and is, IMHO, bad as it exposed a partly broken IL state
to the passmanager.

Thus the following patch makes sure we can leave cfgexpand with
no unreachable blocks around and simply merges the rtl_eh pass
and expand.

Yes, we do have several tests in the testsuite where EH landing
pads get unreachable during expansion, by a disconnect of what
GIMPLE thinks can throw and what the expanded code sequence says
(bogus SSE builtin definitions in the x86_64 backend for example,
see g++.dg/other/i386-1.C for two cases).

Bootstrap and regtest on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu running.

Comments?

Thanks,
Richard.

Those cases are in fact mostly broken.  When gimple thinks somehting throws
and it does not, it is a missed optimization.
Especially the SSE intrincisc not having NOTHROW.  We should have at least tracking PR for them.

This seems OK to me...

IL is deeply irregular until this step, since RTL sharing is nothing any of
other passes are designed to handle and it does not match what rtl.texi says.
I would suggest merging all those into cfgexpand, not just rtl_eh.

Ok.  If the posted patch passes bootstrap & regtest I'll see what I can 
do.

What does rtl_eh do for no-SJLJ exceptions?

Have you tested with SJLJ exceptions? (Can/should we move that code to GIMPLE?)

Ciao!

Quoting from except.c

'Then, via finish_eh_generation, we generate the real landing pads
   to which the runtime will actually transfer control.  These new
   landing pads perform whatever bookkeeping is needed by the target
   backend in order to resume execution within the current function.
   Each of these new landing pads falls through into the post_landing_pad
   label which had been used within the CFG up to this point.  All
   exception edges within the CFG are redirected to the new landing pads.
   If the target uses setjmp to implement exceptions, the various extra
   calls into the runtime to register and unregister the current stack
   frame are emitted at this time.'

> Have you tested with SJLJ exceptions? (Can/should we move that code to GIMPLE?)

No.  The only thing that changes is the time when we call 
fixup_tail_calls, otherwise the patch should be a no-op basically
hiding the inconsistent state during the piecewise RTL expansion
from the pass manager.

Emitting the landing pad code (copy-out from EH_RETURN_DATA_REGNO, or 
target specific code) and redirecting edges to that one.

> (Can/should we move that code to GIMPLE?)

We could, but for the sjlj case it's some work to rework the whole 
thing to gimple, and for bb-reorder we at least need the dwarf landing pad 
expander also on RTL (meaning also the target expander for that).  Not 
much gain there, so IMO we shouldn't.

We could also do away with the separation of landing pad and post landing 
pad (e.g. by a new _builtin_landing_pad_magic()), but that would get rid 
of the RTL redirecting of edges only for the dwarf case, as the sjlj still 
would rewrite the CFG by emitting explicit switch statements.  Might be 
slightly nicer nevertheless, but also not terribly important gain.


Ciao,
Michael.

As discussed on IRC, we ought to merge the passes that keeps RTL inconsistent
into single pass. Until RTl reaches its specified form (that is after unsharing)
those are not realy independent passes anyway. They just come from historical
way rest_of_compilation function was shaped.

As a followup I will try to cleanup those early stages of compilation getting
rid of pass_jump/pass_jump2 and friends.
