------- Comment #1 from manu at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-01-10 14:07 ------- This is an example that shows that small differences in code lead to quite different SSA representations. Without print we have a PHI node, where one of the operands is the uninitialized value, so we warn. However, with the print statement, we don't generate such PHI node, so we don't warn:
* With the print statement: # BLOCK 7, starting at line 5 # PRED: 5 (false) 6 (fallthru) # STORES: { dt_parm.5D.883 } [pr34721.f90 : 5] dt_parm.5D.883.commonD.821.filenameD.743 ={v} &"pr34721.f90"[1]{lb: 1 sz: 1}; # STORES: { dt_parm.5D.883 } [pr34721.f90 : 5] dt_parm.5D.883.commonD.821.lineD.744 ={v} 5; # STORES: { dt_parm.5D.883 } [pr34721.f90 : 5] dt_parm.5D.883.commonD.821.flagsD.741 ={v} 128; # STORES: { dt_parm.5D.883 } [pr34721.f90 : 5] dt_parm.5D.883.commonD.821.unitD.742 ={v} 6; [pr34721.f90 : 5] _gfortran_st_write (&dt_parm.5D.883); [pr34721.f90 : 5] _gfortran_transfer_integer (&dt_parm.5D.883, &nD.872, 4); <== PASSED BY REFERENCE!! [pr34721.f90 : 5] _gfortran_st_write_done (&dt_parm.5D.883); # LOADS: { nD.872 } [pr34721.f90 : 6] D.884_31 = nD.872; <===== NO PHI NODE!! [pr34721.f90 : 6] iD.871_32 = 1; [pr34721.f90 : 6] if (iD.871_32 <= D.884_31) goto <bb 8>; else goto <bb 9>; # SUCC: 8 (true) 9 (false) * Without the print statement # BLOCK 7, starting at line 6 # PRED: 5 (false) 6 (fallthru) # nD.872_2 = PHI <nD.872_26(D)(5), nD.872_32(6)> <== PHI NODE WITH UNINITIALIZED VALUE!! [pr34721.f90 : 6] D.883_33 = nD.872_2; [pr34721.f90 : 6] iD.871_34 = 1; [pr34721.f90 : 6] if (iD.871_34 <= D.883_33) goto <bb 8>; else goto <bb 9>; # SUCC: 8 (true) 9 (false) I have no idea why "print" generates loads/stores but if the variable is passed by reference to a function, it is very risky to warn, since the function may initialize the variable. -- manu at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |manu at gcc dot gnu dot org Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Ever Confirmed|0 |1 Last reconfirmed|0000-00-00 00:00:00 |2008-01-10 14:07:44 date| | http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34721
