Re: Should __attribute__((optimize("align-loops=32"))) work ? (for x86_64)

However I find that both:

     _Pragma("GCC optimize(\"align-loops=32\")")

and:

     __attribute__((optimize("align-loops=32")))

are rejected with a "warning: bad option '-falign-loops=32'" -- reported for
each and every affected function.

Should I report this as a bug ?

Yes, if you can't find an existing report for it.

OK: I have reported it.
FWIW: playing with "Compiler Explorer" suggests that this was broken by v7. Compiling with v6.3 does not generate the spurious warning, but the requested loop alignment is ignored. Going back to v5.4, I find the optimize("align-loops=32") actually works ! 

Thanks,
