Eelis <gcc-bugzilla at contacts dot eelis.net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |gcc-bugzilla at contacts dot eelis | |.net --- Comment #11 from Eelis <gcc-bugzilla at contacts dot eelis.net> --- This bug means that for struct X { char a[8]; }; bool f(X x, X y) { return __builtin_memcmp(x.a, y.a, 8); } gcc emits: subq $40, %rsp .cfi_def_cfa_offset 48 movl $8, %edx movq %rdi, 16(%rsp) leaq 16(%rsp), %rdi movq %rsi, (%rsp) movq %rsp, %rsi call memcmp testl %eax, %eax setne %al addq $40, %rsp .cfi_def_cfa_offset 8 ret while clang emits: movq %rdi, -8(%rsp) movq %rsi, -16(%rsp) cmpq %rsi, -8(%rsp) setne %al retq (which is still suboptimal due to llvm bug #20673).
