I am yet to (re-)run SV-COMP experiments; I'd guess there could be some nested loops, which previously we have necessarily aborted way too early. |

Constant propagation and simplification may determine that a loop cannot be unrolled further. This is determined at the loop head, which is a forward goto in case of for or while (but not do-while) loops. Before this patch, forward gotos would never cause loop counters to be reset. In nested loops, the inner loop(s) would thus have their unwinding counts added to previous (complete) loop executions.

The previous approach would reset loop counters when reaching an unwinding bound, which was broken as shown by newly added regression tests.

@kroening Please review whether this approach is as discussed and reasonable. I'll then clean up the commits and will remove the do-not-merge label. |
