When compiling the following code with -O2 or -Os, the if clause at the end of STRING_hash_code is optimized away, yielding in a negative result if(R<0){ R=~R; }
With -O1 everything works as expected (positive result) #include <stdint.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> typedef struct {unsigned char* storage;int32_t count;int32_t capacity;} STRING; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { STRING x; x.storage="HASHED_DICTIONARY[WEAK_REFERENCE[ANY_HASHED_DICTIONARY_NODE],STRING]"; x.count=strlen(x.storage); x.capacity=x.count+1; printf("%d\n",STRING_hash_code(&x)); } int32_t STRING_hash_code(STRING* C){ int32_t R=0; int32_t i=0; int32_t j=0; j=C->count; i=1; while (j>0) { R=5*R+C->storage[i-1]; i++; j--; } if(R<0){ R=~R; } return R; } -- Summary: Optimizer too aggressive Product: gcc Version: 4.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: frederic dot merizen at gmail dot com GCC build triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu GCC host triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu GCC target triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32757
