Bug ID: 125795
Summary: Code generation broken with -funroll-loops when
targeting armv8-a.
Product: gcc
Version: 15.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: nick at appletonaudio dot com
Target Milestone: ---

The .s file output of building a small test-case with -save-temps
I did some bisection using godbolt and found this issue started appearing
between version 13.4.0 and 14.1.0. I listed the affected version as 15.2.0
because that is what I am using. The code generation is fine when targeting
amd64 which is why I have listed the component as "target" but this is just my
best guess.
Thank you for all your great work and let me know if there is more information
needed.
