Hi - it's my first time on that list, I hope I choose good one as gcc have really quite number of different mailing lists :) lately I hit very strange behaviour, i.e. the app I wanted to build works when I build it with -O0 but crash at -O1, I wanted to eliminate flags that work as I usually do, by doing -O0 and adding all flags that are on -O1 and aren't on -O0, I got their list using standard recommended by manual way: g++ -c -Q -O0 --help=optimize > 0.flags g++ -c -Q -O1 --help=optimize > 1.flags diff 0.flags 1.flags | grep enabled the problem is that I was able to add all flags returned by above commands! Is there some secret things that -O1 do instead of only lighting those -f*** flags listened by above commands? If above returned me: -fcprop-registers -fdefer-pop -fguess-branch-probability -fif-conversion -fif-conversion2 -fipa-pure-const -fipa-reference -fmerge-constants -fomit-frame-pointer -fsplit-wide-types -ftree-ccp -ftree-ch -ftree-copy-prop -ftree-copyrename -ftree-dce -ftree-dominator-opts -ftree-dse -ftree-fre -ftree-salias -ftree-sink -ftree-sra -ftree-ter -funit-at-a-time is there any difference / reason why in my case: -O1 fails but: -O0 -fcprop-registers -fdefer-pop -fguess-branch-probability -fif-conversion -fif-conversion2 -fipa-pure-const -fipa-reference -fmerge-constants -fomit-frame-pointer -fsplit-wide-types -ftree-ccp -ftree-ch -ftree-copy-prop -ftree-copyrename -ftree-dce -ftree-dominator-opts -ftree-dse -ftree-fre -ftree-salias -ftree-sink -ftree-sra -ftree-ter -funit-at-a-time works?... I build with athlon-xp architecture but same happens when I do i686 (with tune=generic)... it's of course Linux, and I use GCC 4.3.2 cheers, Andrzej. btw, the problem I have is during run of OGRE3D engine so quite huge app, I managed to track the problem up to this place: HardwareIndexBuffer::IndexType indexType = mCurrentSection->get32BitIndices()? HardwareIndexBuffer::IT_32BIT : HardwareIndexBuffer::IT_16BIT; there IndexType is enum for only those two values that in any other context are 0/1, and get32BitIndices is function returning bool, this makes it kind of: int x = boolValue ? 0:1; the problem is that any diagnostic, stwich/case/if for that value equal HardwareIndexBuffer::IT_32BIT or HardwareIndexBuffer::IT_16BIT fail, simple cout on it says it's 104... always, every run - every build with anything more than -O0... it's working on -O0 thought and -O0 with above flags... anyway for now question is rather about what more than flags returned by those 3 mentioned lines of shell does -O1 do because I can just go on with disabling one feature and leaving rest in place
