Bug #: 52571
Summary: vectorizer changes alignment of common symbols
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: tree-optimization
AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: ian@airs.com
Compile this file with current mainline with -O2 on an ELF system:
unsigned long int *p;
void
f (char **a)
{
p = (unsigned long int *) a;
}
In the .s file I see this:
.comm p,8,8
Now compile it with -O3. In the .s file I see this:
.comm p,8,16
The alignment of a common symbol should not change based on the compiler
optimization level.
This appears to happen in vect_compute_data_ref_alignment.
Perhaps vect_can_force_dr_alignment_p needs to check DECL_COMMON.
