Bug ID: 88686 Summary: gcc generates wrong debug information at -O1 Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: debug Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: qrzhang at gatech dot edu Target Milestone: --- I have reported this bug at gdb bugzilla(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24032). However, it appears to be a gcc bug. I can reproduce the bug with "gcc version 9.0.0 20190103 (experimental) [trunk revision 267553] (GCC)". The gdb version does not matter. I can reproduce it with gdb 7.7. Below is my original report: =====8<========= $ gdb-trunk --version GNU gdb (GDB) 8.2.50.20181223-git *It correctly prints the value without optimization* $ gcc-trunk -g abc.c outer.c $ gdb-trunk -x cmds -batch a.out Breakpoint 1 at 0x400485: file abc.c, line 8. Breakpoint 1, main () at abc.c:8 8 optimize_me_not(); 9 c = 0; $1 = 0 Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal] [Inferior 1 (process 2315) killed] *It incorrectly prints "j=1" at -O1* $ gcc-trunk -g -O1 abc.c outer.c $ gdb-trunk -x cmds -batch a.out Breakpoint 1 at 0x400491: file abc.c, line 8.
