                    not removed
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3

        ReportedBy: wouter.vermaelen@scarlet.be


I'm not sure, but this issue might be the same as bug 49054 (if so, feel free
to delete this one).


#include <vector>

struct S { int a, b; };
std::vector<S> v;

int search_1(int a) {
    for (auto it = v.begin(); /**/; ++it)
        if (it->a == a) return it->b;
}
int search_2(int a) {
    for (auto& e : v)
        if (e.a == a) return e.b;
    __builtin_unreachable();
}


I expected to see the same generated code for both functions. Instead the 2nd
one still contains some useless comparisons and jumps past the end of the
function. Since such a (conditional) jump is anyway undefined behavior it can
as well be removed (including the instructions required to calculate the
condition).

Tested with SVN revision 178775 (20110912) on Linux x86_64.
