Package: gcc-3.3 Version: 1:3.3-2 Severity: normal Compiling the following program (b.c) on i386
int f(int a) { int i = 0; if (a > 3) goto end; return 3; end: return g(0); } with "gcc -O2 -falign-jumps=0 -S" produces .file "b.c" .text .p2align 2,,3 .globl f .type f, @function f: pushl %ebp movl %esp, %ebp cmpl $3, 8(%ebp) jle .L4 .L3: movl $0, 8(%ebp) leave jmp g .p2align 2,,3 .L4: movl $3, %eax leave ret .size f, .-f .ident "GCC: (GNU) 3.3 (Debian)" As you can see, -falign-jumps=0 was ignored. -malign-jumps=0 does work on the other hand. This applies to all -falign-* options. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: Linux gondolin 2.4.21-1-686-smp #3 SMP Mon Jun 16 22:16:22 EST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux Versions of the packages gcc-3.3 depends on: ii binutils 2.14.90.0.4-0.
