Bug #: 54150 Summary: [4.8 Regression] gimple dumps no longer honor -blocks Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: other AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: rgue...@gcc.gnu.org CC: stevenb....@gmail.com gimple dumps now by default dump a RTL-like bb header: ;; basic block 2, loop depth 0 ;; pred: ENTRY D.1602_12 = (sizetype) m_5(D); D.1603_13 = D.1602_12 * 4; goto <bb 6>; ;; succ: 6 previously TDF_blocks was required for that (and I'd like to have that back). Also notice the extra newline before ;; succ: which seems to be caused by pp_base_flush which does not only flush but also prints a newline, and that independent on whether pp_needs_newline is set. That said, the tree dumps still look remarkably ugly by default now.
