Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component|libstdc++ |tree-optimization --- Comment #5 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- here is the current IR (with -fno-exceptions) at -O3: MEM[(struct basic_string *)&s] ={v} {CLOBBER}; MEM[(struct _Alloc_hider *)&s] ={v} {CLOBBER}; MEM[(struct _Alloc_hider *)&s]._M_p = &s.D.26433._M_local_buf; __builtin_memcpy (&s.D.26433._M_local_buf, "abc", 3); s._M_string_length = 3; MEM[(char_type &)&s + 19] = 0; foo (); _3 = s._M_dataplus._M_p; if (&s.D.26433._M_local_buf != _3) goto <bb 3>; [53.47%] else goto <bb 4>; [46.53%] <bb 3> [local count: 574129753]: _7 = s.D.26433._M_allocated_capacity; _8 = _7 + 1; operator delete (_3, _8); for some reason GCC thinks foo can modify s so the load for s._M_dataplus._M_p is not be optimized to just &s.D.26433._M_local_buf
