--- Comment #3 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- So possibly expand_assignment is eliding the store somewhere downthread (it's operand_equal_p check shouldn't fire). It's rtx store_expr (tree exp, rtx target, int call_param_p, bool nontemporal, bool reverse) { ... if ((! rtx_equal_p (temp, target) || (temp != target && (side_effects_p (temp) || side_effects_p (target)))) which doesn't fire. We have (gdb) p debug_rtx (temp) (mem:DI (reg/f:DI 87 [ _11 ]) [2 *_11+0 S8 A64]) (gdb) p debug_rtx (target) (mem:DI (reg/f:DI 87 [ _11 ]) [1 MEM[(long int *)_11]+0 S8 A64]) Note that even just matching up MEM_ALIAS_SET isn't enough. I'd call the above optimization premature at least. (gdb) p mems_same_for_tbaa_p (temp, target) $13 = false so diff --git a/gcc/expr.cc b/gcc/expr.cc index 80bb1b8a4c5..71a7fc19c42 100644 --- a/gcc/expr.cc +++ b/gcc/expr.cc @@ -6207,7 +6207,8 @@ store_expr (tree exp, rtx target, int call_param_p, if ((! rtx_equal_p (temp, target) || (temp != target && (side_effects_p (temp) - || side_effects_p (target)))) + || side_effects_p (target) + || !mems_same_for_tbaa_p (temp, target)))) && TREE_CODE (exp) != ERROR_MARK /* If store_expr stores a DECL whose DECL_RTL(exp) == TARGET, but TARGET is not valid memory reference, TEMP will differ fixes this mistake.
