Subject: [PATCH 15/73] linearize, flow: Fix asm operands, switch case bounds, and DSE
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 12:32:01 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109203259.362845-16-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261109203259.362845-1-bvanassche@acm.org>
Fix IR linearization and dead-store elimination issues in flow.c and
linearize.c:
- Continue scanning past OP_CALL for non-escaping locals while stopping
at OP_ASM in kill_dead_stores_bb().
- Enlarge show_pseudo() formatting buffers and replace sprintf() with
bounded snprintf().
- Guard VOID phi sources in linearize_logical(), register read-write
'+r' asm outputs as inputs, guard non-string asm clobbers, and extend
switch case values to the controlling expression width.
- Add regression test validation/linear/control-flow-fixes.c.
