Description Steven Bosscher 2008-02-29 23:23:36 UTC 
See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2007-10/msg01011.html

``When -ftrapv is in effect, libcalls are "necessary" so that the results of an operation can be propagated without making the call to the libgcc functions dead. The attached patch causes a failure in pr30286.c.''

This has to be investigated before libcall notes can be removed from the compiler.
Comment 1 Richard Biener 2008-02-29 23:33:53 UTC 
-ftrapv is seriously broken and nobody wants to fix it;  so the most appealing
solution is to remove support for -ftrapv.  See PR19020, especially the
libcall part is broken as well.
Comment 2 Steven Bosscher 2008-02-29 23:36:51 UTC 
PR19020 shows that -ftrapv vs. libcalls is broken even without Paolo's patch.
Comment 3 Paolo Bonzini 2008-05-31 09:18:30 UTC 
Well, regression is a big word because -ftrapv is broken in general.  I guess the RM will lower the priority.
Comment 4 Richard Biener 2008-06-25 11:54:48 UTC 
Not a regression.  $Summary was true always.
Comment 5 Joseph S. Myers 2008-07-04 19:42:32 UTC 
Not a regression, removing milestone.

Comment 7 Joost VandeVondele 2009-04-14 20:08:31 UTC 
I'm reopening this report. -ftrapv is still documented, so can be expected to work by users. 

For the particular problem I have right now, a functional version of this option would be a great thing to have.

Comment 9 R0b0t1 2017-05-08 17:36:39 UTC 
Please fix. Per the documentation available `-fsantize=undefined` provides some of the missing functionality but does not allow the program's flow to be altered.
