Bug ID: 65873 Summary: [5/6 Regression] Failure to inline always_inline memcpy Product: gcc Version: 5.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: ipa Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: jakub at gcc dot gnu.org typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ size_t; extern inline __attribute__ ((__always_inline__, __gnu_inline__, __artificial__, __nothrow__, __leaf__)) void * memcpy (void *__restrict __dest, const void *__restrict __src, size_t __len) { return __builtin___memcpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __builtin_object_size (__dest, 0)); } __attribute__((optimize ("Ofast"))) void bar (void *d, void *s, size_t l) { memcpy (d, s, l); } fails to compile starting with r221706 (or r221707, neither of those versions compile, r221704 works, r221710 fails). This makes with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 all fortified functions unusable in functions with explicit (non-default) optimize attribute. As the always_inline function doesn't have a specific optimize attribute, I'd say at least for always_inline functions it is undesirable to refuse to inline them. For target attribute, do we also refuse to inline, if say the whole CU is compiled with -mavx2 and some function uses __attribute__((target ("sse2"))) and calls memcpy?
