[Bug c/30442] New: Array initialization can use memset builtin function

[ubizjak at gmail dot com]

Array initialization could use memset builtin function. In following two
testcases, array is initialized without use of memset:

--cut here--
long long foo(long long *);

long long test1(void)
{
  long long a[32];

  a[0] = 0;
  a[1] = 0;
  a[2] = 0;
  a[3] = 0;
  a[4] = 0;
  a[5] = 0;
  a[6] = 0;
  a[7] = 0;
  a[8] = 0;
  a[9] = 0;
  a[10] = 0;
  a[11] = 0;
  a[12] = 0;
  a[13] = 0;
  a[14] = 0;
  a[15] = 0;
  a[16] = 0;
  a[17] = 0;
  a[18] = 0;
  a[19] = 0;
  a[20] = 0;
  a[21] = 0;
  a[22] = 0;
  a[23] = 0;
  a[24] = 0;
  a[25] = 0;
  a[26] = 0;
  a[27] = 0;
  a[28] = 0;
  a[29] = 0;
  a[30] = 0;
  a[31] = 0;

  return foo(a);
}

long long test2(void)
{
  long long a[32];
  int i;

  for (i = 0; i < 32; i++)
    a[i] = 0;

  return foo(a);
}

.L2:

        movl    %edx, (%esp)
        call    foo
        addl    $268, %esp
        ret

IIRC, this optimization was recently implemented in gfrortran...
