[Bug c++/57688] New: -O3 -march=native generates illegal opcode on AMD


http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57688

            Bug ID: 57688
           Summary: -O3 -march=native generates illegal opcode on AMD
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: dcb314 at hotmail dot com

C++ source code

I just noticed that -march=native support broke from
date 20130621 to 20130623 for AMD Phenom as follows

[dcb@localhost foundBugs]$ ../results/bin/g++ -g -O3 -Wall bug113.cc
[dcb@localhost foundBugs]$ ./a.out
Time for caxpy1 = 0.16 seconds [5120 Mflops]
[dcb@localhost foundBugs]$ ../results/bin/g++ -g -O3 -march=native -Wall
bug113.cc
[dcb@localhost foundBugs]$ ./a.out
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
[dcb@localhost foundBugs]$

Valgrind helps out with this

==23912==    by 0x4012C0: main (bug113.cc:258)
==23912== Your program just tried to execute an instruction that Valgrind
==23912== did not recognise.  There are two possible reasons for this.
==23912== 1. Your program has a bug and erroneously jumped to a non-code
==23912==    location.  If you are running Memcheck and you just saw a
==23912==    warning about a bad jump, it's probably your program's fault.
==23912== 2. The instruction is legitimate but Valgrind doesn't handle it,
==23912==    i.e. it's Valgrind's fault.  If you think this is the case or
==23912==    you are not sure, please let us know and we'll try to fix it.
==23912== Either way, Valgrind will now raise a SIGILL signal which will
==23912== probably kill your program.
==23912==
==23912== Process terminating with default action of signal 4 (SIGILL)
==23912==  Illegal opcode at address 0x4045E2
