Bug ID: 57688
Summary: -O3 -march=native generates illegal opcode on AMD
Product: gcc
Version: 4.9.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: dcb314 at hotmail dot com

C++ source code
I just noticed that -march=native support broke from
date 20130621 to 20130623 for AMD Phenom as follows
[dcb@localhost foundBugs]$ ../results/bin/g++ -g -O3 -Wall bug113.cc
[dcb@localhost foundBugs]$ ./a.out
Time for caxpy1 = 0.16 seconds [5120 Mflops]
[dcb@localhost foundBugs]$ ../results/bin/g++ -g -O3 -march=native -Wall
bug113.cc
[dcb@localhost foundBugs]$ ./a.out
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

Valgrind helps out with this

==23912== Your program just tried to execute an instruction that Valgrind
==23912== did not recognise. There are two possible reasons for this.
==23912== 1. Your program has a bug and erroneously jumped to a non-code
==23912== location. If you are running Memcheck and you just saw a
==23912== warning about a bad jump, it's probably your program's fault.
==23912== 2. The instruction is legitimate but Valgrind doesn't handle it,
==23912== i.e. it's Valgrind's fault. If you think this is the case or
==23912== you are not sure, please let us know and we'll try to fix it.
==23912== Either way, Valgrind will now raise a SIGILL signal which will
==23912== probably kill your program.
==23912==
==23912== Process terminating with default action of signal 4 (SIGILL)
