[Bug tree-optimization/22532] New: [4.1 Regression] We produce worse code on the mainline for a loop

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Take the following code:
#define NUMPOINTS 20

static float opoints[NUMPOINTS];

double sqrt (double);
double f(double);

void NormalizeVectors1 (void)
{
  int i, r;
  float s, x, y, z;
  static float d = 0.0;
  d += 0.2f;
  s = d;
  for (i=0; i<NUMPOINTS; i++)
    opoints[i] = f(s);
}

Compile at -O2 and -O3 and compare.  See how we load/store now at -O3 to the 
static variable, d 
inside the loop.
