Bug ID: 59162 Summary: wrong code (hangs) at -Os and above on x86_64-linux-gnu (affecting 4.7.3 and earlier versions) Product: gcc Version: 4.7.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: su at cs dot ucdavis.edu GCC 4.7.3 and earlier versions miscompile the following code on x86_64-linux at -Os and above in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. But I did not check the latest 4.7 branch. It affects neither the current trunk nor 4.8.x. $ gcc-4.7.3 -O1 small.c; a.out 1 $ gcc-4.7.3 -Os small.c; a.out ^C $ gcc-4.6.4 -Os small.c; a.out ^C $ gcc-4.8.2 -Os small.c; a.out 1 $ gcc-trunk -Os small.c; a.out 1 $ gcc-trunk -v Using built-in specs.
