[PATCH 04/27] tcg: Remove branch-to-next regardless of reference count
Posted by Richard Henderson 1 year, 10 months ago
Just because the label reference count is more than 1 does
not mean we cannot remove a branch-to-next.  By doing this
first, the label reference count may drop to 0, and then
the label itself gets removed as before.
