Bug ID: 88823 Summary: ivopts introduces -1(OVF) Product: gcc Version: 9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: glisse at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- int g (int a, int *v) { v[0] = a; v[1] = 0; while (v[0]-- > 0) v[1] += v[0]; return v[1]; } With -O2, ivopts replaces "if (_18 > 0)" with "if (_4 != -1(OVF))". IIUC, it should at least use drop_tree_overflow to get a clean constant -1, although I don't know why the overflow appeared in the first place. Maybe the overflow flag is harmless and you can just close as not-a-bug.
