Suppose predecessors -are A,B,C where B and C have 5 instructions in common, and A has 2 in common -with B or C. We want to get: -A: - jmp C3 -B: - jmp C2 -C: -C2: 3 common to B and C but not A -C3: 2 common to all 3 -You get this if B and C are merged first, but currently it might randomly decide -to merge A and B first, which results in not sharing the C2 instructions. We -could look at all N*(N-1) combinations of predecessors and merge the ones with -the most instructions in common first. Usually that will be fast, but it -could get slow on big graphs (e.g. large switches tend to have blocks with many -predecessors).
