[Bug translator/11590] optimized pre/postfix operators on variable throw away initial variable assignment


------- Additional Comments From mjw at redhat dot com  2010-05-12 09:44 -------
This seems to have been caused by commit 982b88bd which solved bug #6954.

commit 982b88bd950381434a8325e550eff9df59f59dcd
Author: Wenji Huang <wenji.huang@oracle.com>
Date:   Thu Jan 28 14:16:43 2010 +0800

    PR6954: make ++/-- operation trigger automatic global printing
    
    * staptree.cxx (varuse_collecting_visitor::visit_arrayindex):
      Regard operations as pure writes.
    * testsuite/systemtap.base/global_end.exp: Add test case.
    * testsuite/systemtap.base/global_end.stp: Ditto.

Note comment #3 of that bug:

"FWIW, I wonder why we didn't just go this route earlier.  I worry
that pretending that ++ only writes to its argument may mess up
some optimization, I can't think of one right now.  We'll keep
this special case in mind."

Reverting this commit fixes this bug (but obviously introduces bug #6954 again).
