Bug ID: 63184 Summary: [4.8/4.9/5 Regression] Fails to simplify comparison Product: gcc Version: 4.9.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org c-c++-common/pr19807-2.c /* { dg-do link } */ extern void link_error(void); int i; int main() { int a[4]; if ((char*)&a[1] + 4*i + 4 != (char*)&a[i+2]) link_error(); return 0; } Fails with all optimization levels for all compilers. c-c++-common/pr19807-3.c /* { dg-do link } */ extern void link_error(void); int i; int main() { int a[4]; if (&a[1] + i + 1 != &a[i+2]) link_error(); return 0; } gcc 4.7 passes with -O[01] but fails with -O2+ gcc 4.8 and 4.9 fail with -O0 but passes with -O1+ (thanks to SLSR) gcc 5.0 since the fix for PR63148 fails which is a regression. We don't seem to systematically use sth like the tree-affine.c framework to simplify address comparisons and the fact that tree-reassoc.c doesn't in any way associate pointer arithmetic doesn't help either.
