Bug ID: 58478 Summary: very slow compilation at -O1 and above on a nested loop Product: gcc Version: 4.7.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: su at cs dot ucdavis.edu The following testcase takes much longer to compile at -O1 and above using GCC 4.7.3 on x86_64-linux (in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes). It does not seem to affect 4.8 and the current trunk. $ gcc-4.7 -v Using built-in specs.
