attribute pure and gcse

[Dara Hazeghi]

Hello,

according to the gcc 3.3 manual, functions marked pure
should be candidates for common subexpression
elimination.

In the following case (which seems a good candidate),
the second call to square is not eliminated by gcse
(leastaways not with 3.3 on ppc). Is this expected, or
should cse be doing better here?

int square(int a) __attribute__ ((pure));

int square(int a)
{
        int j=0;
        while(j!=a)
        {
                a = j*a;
                j++;
        }
        return a;
}

int main()
{
        return square(2) * square(2);
}


Thanks,

Dara
