            Bug ID: 96189
           Summary: Failure to use eflags from cmpxchg on x86
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: gabravier at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

bool f(unsigned char* addr, unsigned char old_val, unsigned char new_val)
{
    auto old_val_cpy = old_val;
    __atomic_compare_exchange_n(addr, &old_val, new_val, 0, 0, 0);
    return old_val == old_val_cpy;
}

With -O3, LLVM outputs this :

f(unsigned char*, unsigned char, unsigned char): # @f(unsigned char*, unsigned
char, unsigned char)
  mov eax, esi
  lock cmpxchg byte ptr [rdi], dl
  sete al
  ret

GCC outputs this :

f(unsigned char*, unsigned char, unsigned char):
  mov eax, esi
  movzx edx, dl
  lock cmpxchg BYTE PTR [rdi], dl
  cmp al, sil
  sete al
  ret

GCC could use the EFLAGS generated from cmpxchg, but it does not.
