-The virtual SSA form is harder to preserve than the non-virtual SSA form
-mainly because the set of virtual operands for a statement may change at
-what some would consider unexpected times. In general, statement
-modifications should be bracketed between calls to
-@code{push_stmt_changes} and @code{pop_stmt_changes}. For example,
-
-@smallexample
- munge_stmt (tree stmt)
- @{
- push_stmt_changes (&stmt);
- @dots{} rewrite STMT @dots{}
- pop_stmt_changes (&stmt);
- @}
-@end smallexample
-
-The call to @code{push_stmt_changes} saves the current state of the
-statement operands and the call to @code{pop_stmt_changes} compares
-the saved state with the current one and does the appropriate symbol
-marking for the SSA renamer.
-
-It is possible to modify several statements at a time, provided that
-@code{push_stmt_changes} and @code{pop_stmt_changes} are called in
-LIFO order, as when processing a stack of statements.
-
-Additionally, if the pass discovers that it did not need to make
-changes to the statement after calling @code{push_stmt_changes}, it
-can simply discard the topmost change buffer by calling
-@code{discard_stmt_changes}. This will avoid the expensive operand
-re-scan operation and the buffer comparison that determines if symbols
-need to be marked for renaming.

@subsection Examining @code{SSA_NAME} nodes

Hi, The section "12.3.2 Preserving the virtual SSA form" in GCC Internals is outdated. The two functions it documents push_stmt_changes and pop_stmt_changes have been removed. The functionality have been replaced with update_stmt. update_stmt is documented elsewhere in internals. I therefore propose to remove section 12.3.2. Furthermore, the function mark_stmt_modified have been replaced by gimple_set_modified. Please install this patch.
