OK, in that regard. I agree.
But it is not relative to the discussion we have there.
Before promoting memory variable to pseudo, it is still
valid SSA form.  After the prompting, we of course want
to stay in SSA.

May be. I haven't look at the code yet. The paper did not describe how
to play with "goto", so I don't no clue what Luc have to do to make the
goto work yet.

As I state very clear in the title, my thought as regarding the paper,
and paper only. I will take some time to read Luc's implementation
next.

I just want to get a confirm my thought on the paper is not too
far off. If I understand the paper incorrectly, it certainly will have negtive
impact on how I am going to read the code.

Thanks
