Bug ID: 122010
Summary: Infinite recursive call not reported and silently
optimized away
Product: gcc
Version: 15.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
In the following simple function,
void test(int flag)
{
if (flag)
test(flag);
}
The x86 backend silently optimizes away the infinite recursive call if flag !=
0:
.type test, @function
test:
.LFB0:
ret
Other backends (like m68k) do the right thing, but don't report any warning:
.type test, @function
test:
tst.l 4(%sp)
jne .L3
rts
.L3:
jra .L3
