--- Comment #4 from Alexander Monakov <amonakov at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Slightly reduced testcase that demonstrates the issue regardless of stack-protector; -O3 -ffast-math is enough on x86-64 (plus -msse2 on i386). Oddly, the #if0 block makes a difference. static const float A[10] = {1}; #if 0 static __attribute__((noinline,noclone)) #endif float foo(float *f, int n) { int i, j; float a = 0, b = 0; for (i = n/2; i < n; i++) a += f[i]*.1f; for (i = n/2, j = 0; i < n; i++, j++) b += f[i]*A[j]+a*A[j]; return b; } int main() { float a[21] = {0}; return foo(a+1, 20) + foo(a, 20); }
