Hello,

I experienced some odd effect when msp430-gcc tries to inline  memcpy
and/or memset.

the code

#include <stdint.h>

void test_memcpy(void)
{
        uint8_t mybuffer[10];
        memset((uint8_t*)&mybuffer, 0, 10);
}

when compiled with
msp430-gcc -c -O2 -mmcu=msp430f449 mspgcc_memcpy.c
results in

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <test_memcpy>:
   0:   31 50 f6 ff     add     #-10,   r1      ;#0xfff6
   4:   81 43 06 00     mov     #0,     6(r1)   ;r3 As==00, 0x0006(r1)
   8:   81 43 08 00     mov     #0,     8(r1)   ;r3 As==00, 0x0008(r1)
   c:   31 50 0a 00     add     #10,    r1      ;#0x000a
  10:   30 41           ret

In my opion thats not clearing 10 bytes....
Without optimation the code appears sound.

Same size problem I noticed with memcpy if inlined....

best regards
