Branch removal (original) (raw)

Hi Vladimir,

many thanks for your answers! I will use your suggestions.

The first step I would do is to find why current code in conditional_move() does not work for you and modify it so it works.

I don't use conditional_move() because I realized that sometimes I don't want to delete a Region completely, but only delete one incoming Projection (like if the Region is a Loop). And as far as I understand, conditional_move() is only applicable for cases where the branches of an If merge at the same Region.

  • Is it possible to disable uncommon traps (completely or just for one method)?

No.

Too bad that uncommon traps can't be avoided. I'll see if I will consider them. If so, perhaps I let them be detected in braches where I don't want them and then cancel the compilation.

Best regards, Patrick
