Summary: avr-g++ does not optimize when using bitshift in inlined function Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: g...@emailgo.de Hi, so you wanted an *.i* file, I don't think this will be helpful. Anyway I appended it. I have a structure like this: function call <- inline function <- inline function. If the first Inline function (Button::Poll that is) passes a const number as parameter pin_number to the second function (Port::get_pin) that is, then the Poll::get_pin function returns *port_address & (1<<pin_number). That masks the appropiate pin in the port (bit in byte). However that will be static, but only optimize to some right rotates and then a compare against zero. It would be possible to just use the AVR's sbis (if bit is set) and provide the pin_number. And in fact that is the case when I call get_pin with (1<<pin_number) as parameter and don't do the shifting in the second-level inline function (but in the first). I hope you understand what I mean. This issue might also apply to other Platforms where this could be optimized. My command was : ./avr-gcc-4.6.0 -S -mmcu=atmega8 -Os /home/oliver/AVR/io/test.cc -save-temps -v and it's output: Using built-in specs.
