+[LOAD PRE / STORE SINKING / SPEC HACK]
+
+This is a chunk of code from 456.hmmer:
+
+int f(int M, int *mc, int *mpp, int *tpmm, int *ip, int *tpim, int *dpp,
+ int *tpdm, int xmb, int *bp, int *ms) {
+ int k, sc;
+ for (k = 1; k <= M; k++) {
+ mc[k] = mpp[k-1] + tpmm[k-1];
+ if ((sc = ip[k-1] + tpim[k-1]) > mc[k]) mc[k] = sc;
+ if ((sc = dpp[k-1] + tpdm[k-1]) > mc[k]) mc[k] = sc;
+ if ((sc = xmb + bp[k]) > mc[k]) mc[k] = sc;
+ mc[k] += ms[k];
+ }
+}
+
+It is very profitable for this benchmark to turn the conditional stores to mc[k]
+into a conditional move (select instr in IR) and allow the final store to do the
+store. See GCC PR27313 for more details. Note that this is valid to xform even
+with the new C++ memory model, since mc[k] is previously loaded and later
+stored.
