Well, for my original case, I mean optimize the codes

 rx <- 0
 ...
 use rx
 ...
 ry <- 0   <----which is redundant and can be removed
 use ry

into

 rx <- 0
 ...
 use rx
 ...
 use rx  <-----------------

In this case, the 2nd 'use rx' instruction introduces true dependency
on "rx <- 0",
So register renaming won't help here, right?

Thanks
