>Description:
I have the following test program:

void t(int v)
{
        asm volatile ("movaps %xmm0,%xmm1");
        if(v&7)
                asm volatile ("movaps %xmm1,%xmm2");
        asm volatile ("movaps %xmm2,%xmm1");
        if(v&7)
                asm volatile ("movaps %xmm3,%xmm2");
        asm volatile ("movaps %xmm4,%xmm1");
}


With gcc-3.2/3.2.1/3.3 (Invoked with: gcc -O3 -c bug.cpp) produces the following code:

   0:   55                      push   %ebp
   1:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
   3:   0f 28 c8                movaps %xmm0,%xmm1
   6:   f6 45 08 07             testb  $0x7,0x8(%ebp)
   a:   74 09                   je     15 <_Z2tti+0x15>
   c:   0f 28 d1                movaps %xmm1,%xmm2
   f:   0f 28 ca                movaps %xmm2,%xmm1
  12:   0f 28 d3                movaps %xmm3,%xmm2
  15:   0f 28 cc                movaps %xmm4,%xmm1
  18:   5d                      pop    %ebp
  19:   c3                      ret

This is not what I want because "movaps %xmm1,%xmm2" is not done if v==7. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong ?

The code used to work correctly, gcc 2.95.3 (same system and options) produces the code below, which does excactly what I expect it to do:

   0:   55                      push   %ebp
   1:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
   3:   0f 28 c8                movaps %xmm0,%xmm1
   6:   8b 45 08                mov    0x8(%ebp),%eax
   9:   83 e0 07                and    $0x7,%eax
   c:   74 03                   je     11 <tt__Fi+0x11>
   e:   0f 28 d1                movaps %xmm1,%xmm2
  11:   0f 28 ca                movaps %xmm2,%xmm1
  14:   85 c0                   test   %eax,%eax
  16:   74 03                   je     1b <tt__Fi+0x1b>
  18:   0f 28 d3                movaps %xmm3,%xmm2
  1b:   0f 28 cc                movaps %xmm4,%xmm1
  1e:   c9                      leave
  1f:   c3                      ret
