Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jakub at gcc dot gnu.org, | |rth at gcc dot gnu.org, | |torvald at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #1 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Even our __atomic_compare_exchange* documentation states that: If they are not equal, the current contents of @code{*@var{ptr}} is written into @code{*@var{expected}}. But then expand_builtin_atomic_compare_exchange doesn't care: oldval = expect; if (!expand_atomic_compare_and_swap ((target == const0_rtx ? NULL : &target), &oldval, mem, oldval, desired, is_weak, success, failure)) return NULL_RTX; if (oldval != expect) emit_move_insn (expect, oldval); That effectively means that expect will be stored unconditionally. So, either we'd need to change this function, so that it sets oldval to NULL_RTX first, and passes ..., &oldval, mem, expected, ... and needs to also always ask for target, then conditionally on target store to expected, or perhaps add extra parameter to expand_atomic_compare_and_swap and do the store only conditionally in that case.
