The following C++ code is not fully as optimizated as the C version: typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ size_t; size_t a[100]; size_t f(size_t b, size_t c) { return &a[b] - &a[c]; }
Found this while looking into the tree dump for mgrid. -- Summary: &a[b] - &a[c] is not folded to b - c Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: middle-end AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21082
