Bug ID: 95431
Summary: inconsistent behaviors at -O2
Product: gcc
Version: 10.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: debug
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: yangyibiao at hust dot edu.cn
Target Milestone: ---
Consider test case:
...
$ cat small.c
#include <string.h>
volatile int one = 1;
int main() {
char a1[] = {(char)one, 2, 3, 4};
char a2[] = {1, (char)(2*one), 3, 4};
int res = memcmp (a1, a2, 5 + one);
return res;
}
...
When stepping using step Line 7 is not hit by gdb.
...
$ gcc -O2 -g small.c; gdb -q a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401040: file small.c, line 6.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/yibiao/Debugger/a.out
Breakpoint 1, main () at small.c:6
6 char a1[] = {(char)one, 2, 3, 4};
(gdb) step
8 int res = memcmp (a1, a2, 5 + one);
(gdb)
...
When stepping using stepi, Line 7 is hit after Line 6 by gdb.
...
$ gcc -O2 -g small.c; gdb -q a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x401040: file small.c, line 6.
(gdb) si
The program is not being run.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/yibiao/Debugger/a.out
Breakpoint 1, main () at small.c:6
6 char a1[] = {(char)one, 2, 3, 4};
(gdb) si
0x0000000000401044 6 char a1[] = {(char)one, 2, 3, 4};
(gdb) si
0x000000000040104a 7 char a2[] = {1, (char)(2*one), 3, 4};
(gdb)
