gcc version 8.3.0 (Gentoo 8.3.0-r1 p1.1) 


Building my source with:
-Wall -Wextra -Wshadow -pedantic -march=native -mavx -mavx2 -O3 -g -save-temps 
 -std=gnu99

resulted .i file is attached. I got similar results on Debian 10 and
godbolt.org (https://godbolt.org/z/-0cGgu)

The problem is low performance when building with 8.3.0. I tested this code on
7.4.0, 8.3.0, 9.1.0 and generated assembler in 8.3.0 contains some strange SIMD
instructions before main work. Problem occurs only with -O3 flag.
