Take the following example: int main1(void); int main(void) { return main1(); } ---- With 3.4.0, we got at -O2: main: pushl %ebp movl %esp, %ebp subl $8, %esp andl $-16, %esp subl $16, %esp call main1 leave ret
While with 4.0.0 and above we get: main: pushl %ebp movl %esp, %ebp subl $8, %esp andl $-16, %esp subl $16, %esp leave jmp main1 .size main, .-main This is wrong, we should not be sibcalling optimizing in main at all. -- Summary: [4.0/4.1 Regression] Sibcalling optimization is happening in main Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: wrong-code Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: target AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC target triplet: i?86-*-* http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24374
