Sorry for the misleading message, the test case comes from a reported
gcc bug, at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44025

Yes, I found that pass, and seems it can solve the problem if I:
1, extend the pass in a value numbering way, at least for const
values;
2, extend the pass in a global data analysis way;

After register allocation also brings advantages, like no register
pressure issue.

This is What I have missed. But in this manner I will never know which
codes is better since the performance depends on scheduling and
out-of- ordering...  right?

Thanks for your explanation.
