Pass counting in VRP is used to decide when to call early VRP, pass the 
flag to enable warnings, and when the final pass is.

If you try to add additional passes, this becomes quite fragile. This 
patch simply chooses the pass based on the data pointer passed in, and 
remove the pass counter.   The first FULL VRP pass invokes the warning 
code, and the flag passed in now represents the FINAL pass of VRP.  
There is no longer a global flag which, as it turns out, wasn't working 
well with the JIT compiler, but when undetected.  (Thanks to dmalcolm 
for helping me sort out what was going on there)


Bootstraps  on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with no regressions.   Pushed.

I'm worried that this patch may have "papered over" an issue with
libgccjit.  Specifically:

I see the global variable "run_warning_pass" starts out true here

...and run_warning_pass affects the member data
pass_vrp::warn_array_bounds_p here, and then becomes false, but nothing
seems to ever reset run_warning_pass back to true.

It seems that with this patch, if libgccjit compiles more than one
gcc_jit_context in the same process, the first context compilation will
warn, whereas subsequent ones in that process won't.

Or did I miss something?

Thoughts?

well, that isnt the patch that was checked in :-P

Im not sure how the old version got into the commit note.

Attached is the version checked in.

Aha!  That makes much more sense.  I took a look at
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=7eb5ce7f58ed4a48641e1786e4fdeb2f7fb8c5ff
and yes, that looks like it will work with libgccjit

Thanks for clarifying (and for fixing the issue)

Patch

From 29abc475a360ad14d5f692945f2805fba1fdc679 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Andrew MacLeod <amacleod@redhat.com>
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2023 09:19:32 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Remove pass counting in VRP.

Rather than using a pass count to decide which parameters are passed to
VRP, makemit explicit.

	* passes.def (pass_vrp): Use parameter for final pass flag..
	* tree-vrp.cc (vrp_pass_num): Remove.
	(run_warning_pass): New.
	(pass_vrp::my_pass): Remove.
	(pass_vrp::final_p): New.
	(pass_vrp::set_pass_param): Set final_p param.
	(pass_vrp::execute): Choose specific pass based on data pointer.
