Description Zoltan Kocsi 2008-07-15 00:38:10 UTC
The attached C file generates a significantly larger object code with the new compiler than with the old one. The exact command line for gcc is in the first comment of the C file.

Test code to demonstrate the size increase

A short C file that compiles to about 60% larger with the new compiler, command line options can be find in the file itself

I attached this code earlier for you to http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31849 along with size reports for various optimization levels (Os, O1, and O2) and gcc versions.  Is this a dupe of that PR or separate?  Can someone familiar with 31849 make a ruling?
Comment 3 Ramana Radhakrishnan 2009-04-29 15:50:22 UTC
The size regression occurs with 4.3.x but with trunk today I see a size reduction to 992 bytes which is in the ball park of the original size.

Based on the last comment, should this PR be closed. It has been five years.
