Subject: Make isSafeToClobberEFLAGS more aggressive. Teach it to scan backwards
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1b1764b3f7edd26a90991993255536dd7417a5c6;p=oota-llvm.git

Make isSafeToClobberEFLAGS more aggressive. Teach it to scan backwards
(for uses marked kill and defs marked dead) a few instructions in
addition to forwards. Also, increase the maximum number of instructions
to scan, as it appears to help in a fair number of cases.
