[Bug c/19078] New: [4.0 Regression] Poor quality code after loop unrolling.

[chris at bubblescope dot net]

The function:

int* find(int* a,int *b)
{
for(;a!=b;++a)
  if(*a==2) return a;
return a;
}

Is unrolled in both 3.3 and 4.0 with -O2 -funroll-loops. The code from 4.0 is
however about twice as large, and seems to feature a large amount of unnessasary
rearranging of registers, and is somewhat slower.
