References bitmap_clear(), and HOST_WIDE_INT.

static bool dce_process_block ( basic_block  bb,
bool  redo_out,
bitmap  au,
struct dead_debug_global global_debug 
)
static
   Process basic block BB.  Return true if the live_in set has
   changed. REDO_OUT is true if the info at the bottom of the block
   needs to be recalculated before starting.  AU is the proper set of
   artificial uses.  Track global substitution of uses of dead pseudos
   in debug insns using GLOBAL_DEBUG.  
         Need to redo the live_out set of this block if when one of
         the succs of this block has had a change in it live in
         set.  
           The insn is needed if there is someone who uses the output.  
           No matter if the instruction is needed or not, we remove
           any regno in the defs from the live set.  
           On the other hand, we do not allow the dead uses to set
           anything in local_live.  
           Insert debug temps for dead REGs used in subsequent debug
           insns.  We may have to emit a debug temp even if the insn
           was marked, in case the debug use was after the point of
           death.  
static bool deletable_insn_p ( )
static
   Return true if INSN is a normal instruction that can be deleted by
   the DCE pass.  
         We cannot delete calls inside of the recursive dce because
         this may cause basic blocks to be deleted and this messes up
         the rest of the stack of optimization passes.  
         We cannot delete pure or const sibling calls because it is
         hard to see the result.  
         We can delete dead const or pure calls as long as they do not
         infinite loop.  
     Don't delete jumps, notes and the like.  
     Don't delete insns that may throw if we cannot do so.  
     If INSN sets a global_reg, leave it untouched.  
             A CLOBBER of a dead pseudo register serves no purpose.
             That is not necessarily true for hard registers until
             after reload.  
           Because of the way that use-def chains are built, it is not
           possible to tell if the clobber is dead because it can
           never be the target of a use-def chain.  
static bool deletable_insn_p_1 ( )
static
   A subroutine for which BODY is part of the instruction being tested;
   either the top-level pattern, or an element of a PARALLEL.  The
   instruction is known not to be a bare USE or CLOBBER.  
         The UNSPEC case was added here because the ia-64 claims that
         USEs do not work after reload and generates UNSPECS rather
         than USEs.  Since dce is run after reload we need to avoid
         deleting these even if they are dead.  If it turns out that
         USEs really do work after reload, the ia-64 should be
         changed, and the UNSPEC case can be removed.  
static void delete_unmarked_insns ( )
static
   Delete every instruction that hasn't been marked.  
             Always delete no-op moves.  
             Otherwise rely only on the DCE algorithm.  
             Beware that reaching a dbg counter limit here can result
             in miscompiled file.  This occurs when a group of insns
             must be deleted together, typically because the kept insn
             depends on the output from the deleted insn.  Deleting
             this insns in reverse order (both at the bb level and
             when looking at the blocks) minimizes this, but does not
             eliminate it, since it is possible for the using insn to
             be top of a block and the producer to be at the bottom of
             the block.  However, in most cases this will only result
             in an uninitialized use of an insn that is dead anyway.

             However, there is one rare case that will cause a
             miscompile: deletion of non-looping pure and constant
             calls on a machine where ACCUMULATE_OUTGOING_ARGS is true.
             In this case it is possible to remove the call, but leave
             the argument pushes to the stack.  Because of the changes
             to the stack pointer, this will almost always lead to a
             miscompile.  
             Before we delete the insn we have to remove the REG_EQUAL notes
             for the destination regs in order to avoid dangling notes.  
             If a pure or const call is deleted, this may make the cfg
             have unreachable blocks.  We rememeber this and call
             delete_unreachable_blocks at the end.  
             Now delete the insn.  
     Deleted a pure or const call.

static void fast_dce ( )
static
   Perform fast DCE once initialization is done.  If WORD_LEVEL is
   true, use the word level dce, otherwise do it at the pseudo
   level.  
     The set of blocks that have been seen on this iteration.  
     The set of blocks that need to have the out vectors reset because
     the in of one of their successors has changed.  
     These regs are considered always live so if they end up dying
     because of some def, we need to bring the back again.  Calling
     df_simulate_fixup_sets has the disadvantage of calling
     bb_has_eh_pred once per insn, so we cache the information
     here.  
                     Be tricky about when we need to iterate the
                     analysis.  We only have redo the analysis if the
                     bitmaps change at the top of a block that is the
                     entry to a loop.  
             Turn off the RUN_DCE flag to prevent recursive calls to
             dce.  
             So something was deleted that requires a redo.  Do it on
             the cheap.  
             We do not need to rescan any instructions.  We only need
             to redo the dataflow equations for the blocks that had a
             change at the top of the block.  Then we need to redo the
             iteration.

static bool find_call_stack_args ( rtx  call_insn,
bool  do_mark,
bool  fast,
bitmap  arg_stores 
)
static
   Try to find all stack stores of CALL_INSN arguments if
   ACCUMULATE_OUTGOING_ARGS.  If all stack stores have been found
   and it is therefore safe to eliminate the call, return true,
   otherwise return false.  This function should be first called
   with DO_MARK false, and only when the CALL_INSN is actually
   going to be marked called again with DO_MARK true.  
     First determine the minimum and maximum offset from sp for
     stored arguments.  
               If not fast, use chains to see if addr wasn't set to
               sp + offset.  
     Set bits in SP_BYTES bitmap for bytes relative to sp + min_sp_off
     which contain arguments.  Checking has been done in the previous
     loop.  
     Walk backwards, looking for argument stores.  The search stops
     when seeing another call, sp adjustment or memory store other than
     argument store.

void run_fast_df_dce ( void  )
   This is an internal call that is used by the df live register
   problem to run fast dce as a side effect of creating the live
   information.  The stack is organized so that the lr problem is run,
   this pass is run, which updates the live info and the df scanning
   info, and then returns to allow the rest of the problems to be run.

   This can be called by elsewhere but it will not update the bit
   vectors for any other problems than LR.  
         If dce is able to delete something, it has to happen
         immediately.  Otherwise there will be problems handling the
         eq_notes.
