Hi, we have: -ftree-loop-distribute-patterns Perform loop distribution of patterns that can be code generated with calls to a library. This flag is enabled by default at -O2 and higher, and by -fprofile-use and -fauto-profile.
This pass distributes the initialization loops and generates a call to memset zero. For example, the loop ... and the initialization loop is transformed into a call to memset zero. This flag is enabled by default at -O3. It is also enabled by -fprofile-use and -fauto-profile. Which mentions optimizatoin flags twice and the repeated mention is out of date, since we enable this option at -O2 as well. Regtested x86_64-linux, plan to commit it shortly as obvious. gcc/ChangeLog: * doc/invoke.texi (-ftree-loop-distribute-patterns): Remove duplicated sentence about optimization flags implying this. diff --git a/gcc/doc/invoke.texi b/gcc/doc/invoke.texi index 2a35dc7ac75..27c31ab0c86 100644 --- a/gcc/doc/invoke.texi +++ b/gcc/doc/invoke.texi @@ -13852,8 +13852,6 @@ DO I = 1, N ENDDO @end smallexample and the initialization loop is transformed into a call to memset zero. -This flag is enabled by default at @option{-O3}. -It is also enabled by @option{-fprofile-use} and @option{-fauto-profile}. @opindex floop-interchange @item -floop-interchange
