Bug ID: 113106 Summary: Missing CSE with cast to volatile Product: gcc Version: 12.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: ubizjak at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- The following testcase: --cut here-- int a; int foo(void) { return *(volatile int *) &a + a; } --cut here-- compiles with -O2 to: movl a(%rip), %eax addl a(%rip), %eax ret with more detail: #(insn:TI 6 7 8 2 (set (reg:SI 0 ax [orig:98 _1 ] [98]) # (mem/v/c:SI (symbol_ref:DI ("a") [flags 0x2] <var_decl 0x7f59db15ac60a>) [1 MEM[(volatile int *)&a]+0 S4 A32])) "vol.c":5:10 85 {*movsi_internal} # (nil)) movl a(%rip), %eax # 6 [c=5 l=6] *movsi_internal/0 #(insn 8 6 14 2 (parallel [ # (set (reg:SI 0 ax [102]) # (plus:SI (reg:SI 0 ax [orig:98 _1 ] [98]) # (mem/c:SI (symbol_ref:DI ("a") [flags 0x2] <var_decl 0x7f59db15ac60 a>) [1 a+0 S4 A32]))) # (clobber (reg:CC 17 flags)) # ]) "vol.c":5:31 271 {*addsi_1} # (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:CC 17 flags) # (nil))) addl a(%rip), %eax # 8 [c=9 l=6] *addsi_1/1 This may be compiled to: movl a(%rip), %eax addl %eax, %eax ret since only one read uses volatile.
