Bug ID: 113478 Summary: -Os does not inline single instruction function Product: gcc Version: 13.2.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: jari.helaakoski at qt dot io Target Milestone: --- GCC -Os option does not inline single instruction std::atomic function when accessed via template class. Inlining works ok with -O2. Inlining is also working if std::atomic is used directly. Test case and compilation result found from godbolt: https://godbolt.org/z/nh758aT3K Problem reproduces all GCC versions with x86 and aarch64 target and with and without specific -march and -mtune options. And here's test case pasted in case of godbolt is not accessable: template <typename T> class D { public: #if 1 inline T test() { return i.load(std::memory_order_relaxed); } #else __attribute__((always_inline)) T test() { return i.load(std::memory_order_relaxed); } #endif std::atomic<T> i {0}; }; D<char> a1; D<long> a2; D<int> a3; D<short> a4; D<long long> a5; D<wchar_t> a6; extern void mod(); int main() { int ret = 0; mod(); ret |= a1.test(); ret |= a1.test(); ret |= a1.test(); ret |= a1.test(); ret |= a1.test(); ret |= a1.test(); ret |= a1.test(); ret |= a1.test(); ret |= a1.test(); ret |= a1.test(); ret |= a2.test(); ret |= a3.test(); ret |= a4.test(); ret |= a5.test(); ret |= a6.test(); return ret; } Function that should be inlined D<char>::test(): ldrb w0, [x0] ret
