vekumar at gcc dot gnu.org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |vekumar at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #1 from vekumar at gcc dot gnu.org --- We do this optimization under -fno-common. In case of -fpic this option does not have any effect and the array declaration is assumed as can be overridden.
