Bug ID: 117924 Summary: unused std::vector<bool> are not optimized out fully at gimple level Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- compiling: #include <vector> void empty(std::vector<bool> src) { std::vector <bool> data=src; } yields in optimized dump: void empty (struct vector & src) { _Bit_type * _13; unsigned int _14; _Bit_type * _15; long int _16; long int _17; long int _18; long int _19; long unsigned int _20; long unsigned int _25; long unsigned int _26; long unsigned int _45; <bb 2> [local count: 1073741824]: _13 = MEM[(const struct vector *)src_2(D)].D.25603._M_impl.D.25087._M_start.D.16487._M_p; _14 = MEM[(const struct _Bit_iterator &)src_2(D) + 16].D.16487._M_offset; _15 = MEM[(const struct _Bit_iterator &)src_2(D) + 16].D.16487._M_p; _16 = _15 - _13; _17 = _16 * 8; _18 = (long int) _14; _19 = _17 + _18; if (_19 != 0) goto <bb 3>; [33.00%] else goto <bb 4>; [67.00%] <bb 3> [local count: 574129755]: _20 = (long unsigned int) _19; _25 = _20 + 63; _26 = _25 >> 6; _45 = _26 * 8; <bb 4> [local count: 1073741824]: return; } All the computations are obviously dead. Eventually RTL optimizes it out, but we ought to do it earlier. Unused new/delete pair is only being determined at cddce3 which is bit late. At cddce2 we still have memcpy copying the vector which is only detected dead by dse5 run shortly before. Dse4 is not run and during dse3 we get quite a lot of code which somehow prevents the dse from happening. If bool is changed to int memcpy goes away already during dse2.
