Trying to understand linearized output

[Dibyendu Majumdar <mobile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I am trying to understand following.

The function in question is shown below and is compiled as part of a
larger program with other functions.

/* find the next object in the tree */
void           *
AVLTree_FindNext(AVLTree * tree, void *currnode)
{
 AVLNode        *current;
 current = (AVLNode *) currnode;
 if (current) {
  --current;
  if (current->right) {
   current = current->right;
   while (current->left != NULL)
    current = current->left;
  } else {
   AVLNode        *p;
   p = current;
   current = p->parent;
   while (current) {
    if (current->right == p) {
     p = current;
     current = current->parent;
    } else
     break;
   }
  }
 }
 if (current)
  return (void *) (current + 1);
 else
  return NULL;
}

The linearized output is:

AVLTree_FindNext:
.L125:

 ptrcast.64  %r333 <- (64) %arg2
 phisrc.64   %phi98(current) <- %r333

 phisrc.64   %phi100(current) <- %r349(current)
 br          %r349(current), .L135, .L127
.L135:
 load.64     %r351 <- 16[%r349(current)]
 phi.64      %r352 <- %phi112(p), %phi113(p)
 seteq.32    %r353 <- %r351, %r352
 phisrc.64   %phi101(current) <- %r349(current)
 br          %r353, .L139, .L127
.L139:
 load.64     %r356 <- 0[%r349(current)]
 phisrc.64   %phi105(current) <- %r356
 phisrc.64   %phi113(p) <- %r349(current)
 br          .L138
.L127:
 phi.64      %r357(current) <- %phi98(current), %phi99(current),
%phi100(current), %phi101(current)
 br          %r357(current), .L142, .L143
.L142:
 add.64      %r359 <- %r357(current), $32
 cast.64     %r360 <- (64) %r359
 phisrc.64   %phi95(return) <- %r360
 br          .L144
.L143:
 phisrc.64   %phi96(return) <- $0
 br          .L144
.L144:
 phi.64      %r361 <- %phi95(return), %phi96(return)
 ret.64      %r361


My question is:

phisrc.64   %phi98(current) <- %r333

The phi98 above is presumably referencing a pseudo which has number
98. But this is not part of this function, so I am confused. Does this
look right?

Thanks and Regards
