The problem here is in ix86_expand_set_or_movmem_via_loop().
In mtune=k8 case, we choose unrolled_loop as the algorithm, where main loop is
expanded as
expand_set_or_movmem_via_loop (dst, NULL, destreg, NULL, promoted_val,
count_exp, Pmode, 4, expected_size);
However, the value of "expected_size" equals 31 in the above testcase! This is
smaller that the smallest chunk size (SIZEOF (Pmode) * 4), requested by caller.
For some reason, expand_set_or_movmem_via_loop() doesn't detect this anomaly
and generates loop for requested chunk size.
The fix is obvious and straightforward. Bail out of
expand_set_or_movmem_via_loop() early if expected_size < piece_size.
I'll fix this in the evening (CET) if Jan won't beat me to it ;)
, where some kind of guard is missing before entering "Main loop" section.
