Bug #: 52525 Summary: compiler segmentation fault when building OpenMP code with -O3 Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.4.6 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: sin.pec...@gmail.com An -O3 optimization seems to make gcc 4.4.x choke with a segfault while compiling some OpenMP code. The same code compiles with -O2. Strangely enough, it also compiles with -O2 + the additional -O3 flags listed in the 4.4.6 docs (-finline-functions, -funswitch-loops, -fpredictive-commoning, -fgcse-after-reload, -ftree-vectorize and -fipa-cp-clone). The bug is not present neither in 4.3 nor 4.5, 4.6. Marked with major severity as this code will be part of the next version of GROMACS, the OSS HPC molecular simulation package shipped by several distros and running on lots of machines from desktops to the largest clusters. Tested with: Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64, gcc-4.4 (Ubuntu 4.4.6-3lucid2) 4.4.6 Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64, gcc-4.4 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.6-11ubuntu2) 4.4.6 RHEL 6.0 x86_64, gcc (GCC) 4.4.4 20100726 (Red Hat 4.4.4-13) Attached is the input that reproduces the segfault by running: $ gcc-4.4 -fopenmp -O3 force.i /home/pszilard/projects/gmx/gromacs-gpu/src/mdlib/force.c: In function ‘do_force_lowlevel.omp_fn.0’: /home/pszilard/projects/gmx/gromacs-gpu/src/mdlib/force.c:448: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
