             Bug #: 55614
           Summary: vector extensions cause movdqa to be generated for
                    memcpy on unaligned buffer
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: soren.sandmann@gmail.com

Program in which memcpy() is miscompiled

When the attached program is compiled with 4.7.2 with -O2, the memcpy() is
expanded to a movdqa instruction, but the buffer passed is unaligned, so we get
a crash.
