             Bug #: 56501
           Summary: gcc 4.6 ICE on noreturn function at -Os and above
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: dhazeghi@yahoo.com


The following testcase (derived from gzip) triggers an internal compiler error
with gcc 4.6, 4.5 and 4.4 when compiled at -Os or higher on x86_64-linux.  The
problem does not occur with 4.7 or newer, or with 4.3 or older.

$ gcc-4.6 --version
gcc-4.6 (GCC) 4.6.3
$ gcc-4.6 -O1 -w small.c
$ gcc-4.6 -Os -w small.c
small.c: In function âmainâ:
small.c:24:1: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
