Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords|needs-reduction | CC| |jakub at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #5 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- This boils down to: struct S { long a, b, c; char d[0], e[0]; }; extern struct S s[1]; int foo (int n) { int i; for (i = 0; i < n; i++) if ((__atomic_load_n (&s[i].c, 0) & s[i].b) == s[i].b) break; return i; } As the array has just a single element, this is UB if n > 1, but for some reason we decide in the cunroll pass to completely unroll the loop. The first iteration is full, the second one has the __atomic_load_8 call plus __builtin_unreachable right after it. Bet we only think that s[i_14].b for i_14 1 will be UB, while __atomic_load_8 (&s[i].c, 0) is fine. Even that is UB, even just forming the address, and even if not - say the atomic would be on &s[i].a - it is accessing that member. Though, for the atomic load we have _8 = (sizetype) i_14; _7 = _8 * 24; _15 = _7 + 16; _1 = &s + _15; _2 = __atomic_load_8 (_1, 0); in the IL while for the load everything in one stmt: _4 = s[i_14].b; The warning is on dead code here, the second __atomic_load_8 which would happen only if is > 1.
