AW: -O2 problem / GCC 3.3.x

[Beschorner Daniel <Daniel.Beschorner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The point is the unused array Q.
If I remove it O2 works fine. But this must have a reason.
Strange...

I would not have expected this to fail with -fgcse
According to the documentation it performa a global common subexpression
elimination pass as well
as global constant and copy propagation.

Then again, you are going to get rounding errors (I believe the results
overflow, hence, one could
argue that the results you are getting to begin with are suspect - I guess
it would be nice if
they failed the same way)

Thank you!

I tested on your advice (i386 hardware)...

-O2 -fno-strict-aliasing, still wrong result
but
-O2 -fno-gcse, correct result

Read up on -fstrict-aliasing (which is on with -O2).

Try building again with -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing

(Not saying this is the problem, however, if it goes away with the
-fno-strict-aliasing
 then you'll know)

Any idea why results differ between -O and -O2 with GCC 3.3.x/Linux??? GCC
2.95 works fine.

results:
-O	500000
-O2	300000

Thanks
Daniel
