> A workaround is to use -fnew-ra.
Thank you for that suggestion. Indeed, I could not find an example
where -mcpu=G5 -fnew-ra either generated incorrect code or ICEd.
However, I would call -fnew-ra a partial workaround for the following
reasons:
(a) Mainline gcc takes about 6 times as long to compile my code with
-fnew-ra than without.
(b) For the most part, there is a performance regression of the
compiled coded by about 50% with -fnew-ra than without.
(c) I believe that much of the new-ra development is sitting in its own
branch, and it seems unlikely to me that this branch will be merged
into mainline in time for the release of 3.4.
For these reasons I don't find -fnew-ra a complete or viable workaround.
It would be nice if Michael Matz were CC'ed on this discussion
