Take the following: char Bool_Glob; void f(void) { Bool_Glob = 0; Bool_Glob = 1; }

The corresponding pointer example works correctly: int f(char *Bool_Glob ) { *Bool_Glob = 0; *Bool_Glob = 1; } -- Summary: DSE is not doing its job for global variables Product: gcc Version: 4.0.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization, TREE Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: tree-optimization AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18880
