           Summary: Bad optimization with sin/cos
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org

Sample code of the bug

When I compile and run the attached code, the optimizations make the code run
slower.

If I change the variable ang to double, the optimizations work (making the code
run faster than without optimization).

Checking the assembly output, I find that the compiler is changing the function
being called from cos and sin to sincosf instead of calling sincos to save a
cast. But it seems sincos is faster than sincosf (fpu is optimized for double).

System: Ubuntu 11.04, 64 bits, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     P8700  @ 2.53GHz
Gcc: 4.5.2
