Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jakub at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #5 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> 2010-10-20 14:27:18 UTC --- The field is not volatile, so in the loop nothing forces ->number field to be loaded from memory again. So it is perfectly fine to optize the whole loop into: if (alpha1->number!=4) for (;;); /* Endless loop. */
