Bug ID: 108361
Summary: Assembly code that is never called emitted on x86_64
Product: gcc
Version: 12.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: eric-bugs at omnifarious dot org

Preprocessed C++ code that generates unneeded assembly
The nature of this bug makes a concise test case hard to whittle down to
something minimal...
The attached code generates a whole bunch of assembly that isn't needed. This
assembly references external symbols as well, which creates unnecessary linker
errors.
Clang handles it just fine. :-)
Attached is both the preprocessed C++ code, and the assembly it generates. The
only needed assembly is the code for main and the static data main needs.
_start is defined as a global in a separate file, which is also attached.
The compile command I'm using:
g++ -std=c++20 -march=znver2 -static -O3 -nostartfiles -nostdlib
-I/usr/include/c++/12 -I/home/hopper/src/posixpp/pubincludes -Wl,-e_start
preprocessed.s x86_64_start.s
