Summary: "rep ret" generated for -march=core2
Product: gcc
Version: 4.5.4
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: zuxy.m...@gmail.com
gcc 4.5 will use "rep; ret" for K8, Athlon, AMDFam10, Core2, and
generic. Looking into the change history, we can see that gcc has padded
returns for Core2 ever since Core2 support was added here:

It is suspected
that Vlad just copied the generic tunings for Core2, and didn't notice
that there was no particular reason to pad returns for Core2.
