            Bug ID: 62042
           Summary: Missing optimization of copying non-limited objects
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: ada
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: porton at narod dot ru

The below program, compiled with GNAT 4.9, calls Adjust two times when 
copying a T1 object.

But it does the same operations with a T2 object without calling Adjust.

So calling Adjust on a T1 object is here redundant and can be optimized away 
for greater performance. Ada Reference Manual allows this kind of optimization.

So GNAT is not as good as I expected, isn't it?

with Ada.Finalization;
with Ada.Text_IO;

procedure Main is

   type T1 is new Ada.Finalization.Controlled with null record;
   type T2 is new Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled with null record;

   overriding procedure Adjust(Object: in out T1) is
   begin
      Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line("Adjust");
   end;

   function F return T1 is
   begin
      return (Ada.Finalization.Controlled with null record);
   end;

   function F return T2 is
   begin
      return (Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled with null record);
   end;

   X: T1 := F;
   Y: T2 := F;

begin
   null;
end;
