            Bug ID: 106691
           Summary: Section anchors is not implemented for riscv
           Product: gcc
           Version: 12.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: missed-optimization
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---
            Target: riscv

Take:
static int a, b;

int f(void)
{
  return a+b;
}

void g(int c, int d)
{
 a = c;
 b = d;
}
--- CUT ---
Right now riscv32-linux-gnu produces:
f:
        lui     a5,%hi(a)
        lw      a0,%lo(a)(a5)
        lui     a5,%hi(b)
        lw      a5,%lo(b)(a5)
        add     a0,a0,a5
        ret
g:
        lui     a5,%hi(a)
        sw      a0,%lo(a)(a5)
        lui     a5,%hi(b)
        sw      a1,%lo(b)(a5)
        ret

While aarch64 produces:
f:
        adrp    x0, .LANCHOR0
        add     x2, x0, :lo12:.LANCHOR0
        ldr     w1, [x0, #:lo12:.LANCHOR0]
        ldr     w0, [x2, 4]
        add     w0, w1, w0
        ret
g:
        adrp    x2, .LANCHOR0
        add     x3, x2, :lo12:.LANCHOR0
        str     w0, [x2, #:lo12:.LANCHOR0]
        str     w1, [x3, 4]
        ret

One less instruction.
