Hi!
On sparc-sun-solaris2.7 the following program:
struct {
float f[263169];
float p[263169];
float q[263169];
float d[263169];
} BLNK;
void
calc1 (int *n)
{
int i;
int limit = *n;
for (i = 0; i <= limit; ++i) {
BLNK.f[i] = BLNK.p[i] + BLNK.q[i];
BLNK.d[i] = BLNK.p[i] + BLNK.q[i];
BLNK.f[i] = BLNK.f[i] + BLNK.p[i] + BLNK.q[i];
}
}

It looks like 3.0 can't figure out that the loads and stores
don't alias.
2.95.2 did it correctly.
The C code is generated by f2c (and edited a little) from the
following Fortran program:
SUBROUTINE CALC1(N)
PARAMETER (N1=263169)
COMMON F(N1), P(N1), Q(N1), D(N1)
INTEGER I
DO 100 I=0,N
F(I) = P(I) + Q(I)
D(I) = P(I) + Q(I)
F(I) = F(I) + P(I) + Q(I)
100 CONTINUE
RETURN
END
The funny thing is that both g77-2.95.2 and g77-3.0 generate exactly
the same code for this program, but both have an extra store ...
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this?
Or where to look for the problem?
Thanks.
