Add a pass to back-propagate use information · 6a75d560
This patch adds a pass that collects information that is common to all uses of an SSA name X and back-propagates that information up the statements that generate X. The general idea is to use the information to simplify instructions (rather than a pure DCE) so I've simply called it gimple-ssa-backprop.c, to go with tree-ssa-forwprop.c. At the moment the only use of the pass is to remove unnecessary sign operations, so that it's effectively a global version of fold_strip_sign_ops. I'm hoping it could be extended in future to record which bits of an integer are significant. There are probably other potential uses too. A later patch gets rid of fold_strip_sign_ops.
