There's a well-known benchmark which uselessly likes to declare local
variables as static. There exist at least two implementations to demote
these to normal register variables. See the discussion thread here:
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-07/msg00982.html
These days, however, we can skip most of the work as pointed out by
Andrew Pinski:
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-07/msg01035.html
PRE usually manages to eliminate all references to the static variable
except a final assignment. The only thing that's left to do is to
enhance DSE to recognize these as dead. So, the following patch is a
cut-down version of CodeSourcery's approach, originally written by
Nathan Froyd, modified to do exactly that.

Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-linux, all languages except Ada. OK?

Just a few quick questions:

+      /* We cannot optimize away a static used in multiple functions (as
+        might happen in C++).  */
+      && !DECL_NONLOCAL(var)

it may also happen trivially with inlining.  Which means a local pass can never
"remove" vars safely.

In theory we have IPA reference which tries to figure out whether a local static
is read and/or written to (and from where).  It's of course quite early analysis
where FRE may not yet have optimized out all reads.

But the trivial dead local static store elimination would simply eliminate
all write-only and !TREE_ADDRESSABLE vars (and statements storing
to it).

For some reason this must be not enough so you write that local
analysis code.

Thus - I'm asking you to double-check a trivial implementation using
the IPA reference result and double-check the issue with inlining
introducing out-of-current-function uses.

Thanks,
Richard.

This is why the pass isn't run if cgraph_function_possibly_inlined_p.
Tested by remove-local-statics-14b.c.

I'm not sure what you're asking for here. The IPA passes seem to run
much before PRE, and if you need an example why that's too early, try
the remove-local-statics-7.c testcase.

I see (how ugly ;)).  Does that cover versioning via IPA CP as well for example?

Yes, that requires PRE.  I'm sure there are cases your pass doesn't
get either.  I was asking whether the particular benchmark would be
optimized by the simple IPA reference method.
