            Bug ID: 107494
           Summary: -ffinite-loops is not enable by default
           Product: gcc
           Version: 12.2.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: web
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: 570070308 at qq dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

According to https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html

```
-ffinite-loops
Assume that a loop with an exit will eventually take the exit and not loop
indefinitely. This allows the compiler to remove loops that otherwise have no
side-effects, not considering eventual endless looping as such.

This option is enabled by default at -O2 for C++ with -std=c++11 or higher.
```


How ever, it was not enable by default at -O2 for C++ with -std=c++11 or
higher:

```
ig@ig-virtual-machine:~/igc$ /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/cc1plus
-std=c++11 -O2 --help | grep finite-loops
  -ffinite-loops                        [disabled]
ig@ig-virtual-machine:~/igc$ /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/cc1plus
-std=gnu++23 -Ofast --help | grep finite-loops
  -ffinite-loops                        [disabled]
```
