Bug ID: 98895 Summary: C++ module generates too many dead code Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: unlvsur at live dot com Target Milestone: --- It is a general issue. Any module unit will generate a dead entry that is completely unused. If those issues cannot be solved, I am sorry, I would only say C++20 modules failed completely. I do not think it has anything to do with tree-optimizations. The compiler just should NOT emit any code to the middle-end because of the module tbh. The module should not affect how the assembly is generated.
