Hi Richard,
Thanks for suggestion, which cleanly solves the problem I was encountering.
This revised patch adds a Boolean simplify argument to tree-ssa-sccvn.c's
vn_nary_build_or_lookup_1 to control whether to simplification should be
performed before value numbering, updating the callers, but then
avoiding simplification when constructing/value-numbering NEGATE_EXPR.
This avoids the regression of gcc.dg/tree-ssa/ssa-free-88.c, and enables the
new test case(s) to pass.  Brilliant, thank you.

This patch has been tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with a "make bootstrap"
and "make -k check" with no new failures.  Ok for mainline?

gcc/ChangeLog
	* match.pd (negation simplifications): Implement some negation
	folding transformations from fold-const.c's fold_negate_expr.
	* tree-ssa-sccvn.c (vn_nary_build_or_lookup_1): Add a SIMPLIFY
	argument, to control whether the op should be simplified prior
	to looking up/assigning a value number.
	(vn_nary_build_or_lookup): Update call to vn_nary_build_or_lookup_1.
	(vn_nary_simplify): Likewise.
	(visit_nary_op): Likewise, but when constructing a NEGATE_EXPR
	now call vn_nary_build_or_lookup_1 disabling simplification.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog
	* gcc.dg/fold-negate-1.c: New test case.


One potential enhancement request it might be useful to file in Bugzilla
(I'm not familiar enough with sccvn to investigate this myself), but there's
a missed optimization opportunity when we recognize one value-number
as the negation of another (and can therefore materialize one result from
the other using a single negation instruction).  The opportunity is that we
currently always select the first value number as the parent, and derive
the second from it, ignoring the expressions themselves.   Sometimes, it
may be profitable to use the second (negated) occurrence as the parent,
and instead negate that to obtain the first.  One could use negate_expr_p
to decide whether one expression is cheaper to negate than the other.

Both examples in gcc.dg/tree-ssa/ssa-free-88.c would benefit from this:
Firstly:
void bar (double x, double z) {
  y[0] = -z / x;
  y[1] = z / x;
}
if we select "z / x" as the parent, and derive -(z/x) from it, we can avoid/
eliminate a negation, over the current code that calculates "(-z)/x" and 
then derives "-((-z)/x)" from it.
Secondly:
void foo (double x) {
  y[0] = x * -3.;
  y[1] = x * 3.;
}
Following Richard's solution/workaround to PR 19988, we'd prefer to keep
positive real constants in the constant pool, hence selecting "x * 3.0" as the
parent and deriving "-(x * 3.0)" from it, would be slightly preferred over the
current behaviour of placing -3 in the constant pool.

Thanks again,

Roger

I think that single_use_is_op_p is "bad" heuristics since it stretches the SSA operand / immediate use use a bit too far.  Generally fold_stmt and thus match.pd patterns may not rely on stmt operands or immediate uses as only generated by update_stmt.

In fact the whole gimple_build machinery relies on match.pd patterns operating on stmts that are _not_ in the IL yet and it carefully restricts instruction combining to those stmts (see gimple_build_valueize).  I suppose the cases you are running into cross the boundary which is where these kind of issues can happen.

That said, it's a heuristic that can't be perfect - some passes are building a lot of IL into a sequence via gimple_build and they are generally not too careful to flush stmts when they make use of the result multiple times, so allowing has_zero_uses is not conservative either.

That said - I'm not sure - (x*y) -> x * -y for easily negatable y is something we should pursue during folding when we're facing expression graphs.  That looks like sth for backprop.

Iff we want to improve single_use heuristics on the side of saying 'no' when we're not absolutely sure that there's a single_use we probably want to think of some way of tracking immediate use reliability and documenting constraints and assumptions we make when matching patterns.

For the ssa-fre-88.c issue at hand it's probably visit_nary_op that shouldn't simplify the expression it wants to insert when it does the reverse transform.
So sth like


or rather adding a new flag to the function, bool simplify and explicitely disabling it from the negation transform.

Note what VN does generally is limited by the order the expressions are
computed, we cannot generally derive something from an expression
computed later.

If we'd do the matching at elimination time we could possibly play
more tricks, like materializing the whole computation and hoping to
elide the redundant later one but that's currently not done.

Thanks,
Richard.
