Bug ID: 97324
Summary: -mcpu=<value> isn't validated on x86
Product: gcc
Version: 10.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: kip at thevertigo dot com
Target Milestone: ---
On amd64 I see the following:
$ gcc-10 -Q --help=param -mcpu=sdfdsf
gcc-10: warning: ‘-mcpu=’ is deprecated; use ‘-mtune=’ or ‘-march=’ instead
The following options control parameters:
--param=align-loop-iterations= 4
(...)
On my POWER9 machine I see the following:
$ gcc-10 -Q --help=param -mcpu=sdfdsf
gcc-10: error: unrecognized argument in option ‘-mcpu=sdfdsf’
gcc-10: note: valid arguments to ‘-mcpu=’ are: 401 403 405 405fp 440 440fp 464
464fp 476 476fp 505 601 602 603 603e 604 604e 620 630 740 7400 7450 750 801 821

power8 power9 powerpc powerpc64 powerpc64le rs64 titan
Note that on amd64 the CPU value's nonsensical value was not validated.
