[Bug rtl-optimization/19001] New: Loops with power of two step and variable bounds not unrolled

[rakdver at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Loop of the following form

int check(int a,int b, char *c)
{
for(;a<b;a+=4)
  if(c[a]==1) return a;
return a;
}

(with step being power of two and > 1, and bounds variable) does not get 
unrolled.
It may happen that this loop is infinite, but this should not prevent unrolling.
