Summary: Incorrect optimization related to smallest int64_t value. Product: gcc Version: 4.4.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: bla...@suitabletech.com The attached program has different behavior with no optimization, and with -O2. It appears that in optimized mode, the compiler considers that taking the negative of a value always yields a negative value. This makes it tricky to write code that properly handles the largest negative value. blaise@bnl: /st/stor1/blaise/temp $ g++ test_overflow.cpp -o test_overflow -O3 && ./test_overflow blaise@bnl: /st/stor1/blaise/temp $ g++ test_overflow.cpp -o test_overflow && ./test_overflow test_overflow: test_overflow.cpp:13: int main(): Assertion `a > 0' failed.
