Bug #: 51861 Summary: Incorrect generated code with __builtin_unreachable() on MIPS Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.5.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: maar...@treewalker.org Host: i686-linux Target: mipsel-linux Build: i686-linux Created attachment 26326 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=26326 Minimal test case If I compile the attached test case for little endian MIPS with the options "-O2 -march=mips32", the generated code will hang at runtime instead of returning the correct value (30). Minor changes to the code can produce a correct answer, a segfault, or various wrong answers. The test case is relatively large for a minimal test case (about 30 lines), but I couldn't reduce it any further. The original problem also occurs with GCC 4.6.1; I haven't tested the test case with that version. The problem occurs at -O2 and -O3, not at lower optimization levels; I haven't tested higher levels. Without the "-march=mips32" option I get the wrong answer (20), but no hang. When compiling for x86_64 the problem does not occur. The problem occurs with both the C and the C++ compiler. When compiling to an object file, the fetch_value() function is just 5 instructions when the generated code is bad, while it is over 20 instructions when the generated code is correct (for example, at -O1 or if the unused "case 4:" is commented out). So perhaps an invalid optimization is performed. For easier testing, you can enable the printf: this doesn't change the behavior related to the bug, but it does violate the demand for test cases to have no external dependencies, so I used the return value of main() for the submitted version.
