            Bug ID: 83175
           Summary: compiler optimizing the code corresponding to double
                    precision operations
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

  Target Milestone: ---

I am migrating my tool chain from 3.4.5 to 4.8.1. 

Migration to 4.8.1 is working great till now but the only problem I am recently
encountering is about code getting optimized when some "double" operations are
done.

Source code :
=========================
553               unlockAddr1_f64 = (double*) thisVars(vol)->unlockAddr1;
554               unlockAddr2_f64 = (double*) thisVars(vol)->unlockAddr2;
555               cmd.word32[0] = ((command<<16) | command);
556               cmd.word32[1] = cmd.word32[0];
557               unlockAddr1_f64[0] = unlock1_cmd.fword64;
558               unlockAddr2_f64[0] = unlock2_cmd.fword64;
559               unlockAddr1_f64[0] = cmd.fword64;

Corresponding assembly with 3.4.5 (working good)

  138e20:       90 a9 00 04     stw     r5,4(r9)


The problem I see is that, no assembly instructions (lfd, stfd) are generated
corresponding to line 557 & 559. It seems compiler is doing some optimization.

Surprisingly, If I add some printf or debug code after line 558, these
instructions are getting generated and code works well.

I know 4.8.1 is no longer supported by GCC, but I would appreciate if you could
give some directions which I can look. Probably some flags etc which I can set.

let me know if you need more information.

Thanks.
