[Bug ada/31824] New: Code generation problem with gnat-4.1.2

[theorizer at freemail dot hu]

I've realized a strange code generation behavior I cannot explain and I think
to be a bug. It's merely about that a function calls to another one with a
parameter read from a constant array. The constant array superfluously gets
copied onto the stack.

I've attached the test code with one can reproduce the problem. Compile it with
command:

gnatmake -c -s bug.adb (copying "manually" byte for byte)
gnatmake -c -Os -s bug.adb (copying by calling to memcpy)

with objdump -D bug.o you can check the result.
