There are several issues. One is what H.J. mentioned, seen e.g. on:
char buf[8] __attribute__((aligned));
char A = 'A';
int len = 1;
void __attribute__((noinline))
check (void)
{
if (__builtin_memcmp (buf, "\0\0A\0\0\0\0\0", 8))
__builtin_abort ();
}
int
main ()
{
__builtin_memset (buf + 2, A, len);
check ();
return 0;
}
with -O -mtune=pentium-m -m32. This can be fixed by adding
max_size = smallest_pow2_greater_than (max_size - 1); at the start of
expand_setmem_epilogue_via_loop. But another testcase with the same options
that still fails is:
char buf[8] __attribute__((aligned)) = "AAAAAAAA";
char A = 'A';
int len = 4;
void __attribute__((noinline))
check (void)
{
if (__builtin_memcmp (buf, "AAAA\0\0\0\0", 8))
__builtin_abort ();
}
int
main ()
{
__builtin_memset (buf + 4, '\0', len);
check ();
return 0;
}
