Bug ID: 68022 Summary: -O2 breaks computed signed integer comparison for AVR Product: gcc Version: 6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: tom at tommay dot net Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 36541 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=36541&action=edit Short .c file with the code in question The attached very short .c file has some code that gets compiled ok with -O0 and -O1 but doesn't execute correctly when compiled with -O2: (n + 16384) < 0 When n >= 16384 the addition will overflow and the result will be negative, but the addition is being replaced with a comparison which doesn't detect this case. I noticed this behavior in 4.8.2, but it still exists in 6.0.0. Here is the avr-gcc -v output: Using built-in specs.
