Bug ID: 108008 Summary: Compiler mis-optimization with posix_memalign Product: gcc Version: 12.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: hahnjo at hahnjo dot de Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 54033 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=54033&action=edit init.cpp Consider the attached example, reduced from some real code, and also available on Compiler Explorer: https://godbolt.org/z/x4Gsjo7rT The expectation is that sameZ[i] = true if zPlanes[i] == zPlanes[i + 1] which should be the case for i = 1. However, when compiling the code with GCC 11.2.0 or 12.2.0 and -std=c++17 -O3, the output is sameZ = 0 for all three iterations of the second loop. The problem disappears when changing anything in the slightest manner: compiling with -O2, using -std=gnu++17, using a different allocation function, commenting out one of the other two statements in the first loop, using the unconditional assignment to sameZ[i], or removing the exit(1). Could this be a bug in the optimizer?
