Hi,
I'm trying to understand the following code-gen difference in the
following code:
#ifdef BEFORE
typedef int arr_2[4][5];
#else
typedef int arr_2[4][4];
#endif
void foo (arr_2 a2, int i, int j)
{
a2[i + 2][j] = 2;
}
The code-gen using a mainline gcc -O2 -DBEFORE is:
movslq %esi, %rsi
movslq %edx, %rdx
leaq (%rsi,%rsi,4), %rax
leaq 40(%rdi,%rax,4), %rax
movl $2, (%rax,%rdx,4)
ret
and -O2 is:
movslq %esi, %rsi
movslq %edx, %rdx
addq $2, %rsi
salq $4, %rsi
addq %rdi, %rsi
movl $2, (%rsi,%rdx,4)
ret
When the typedef is arr_2[4][5], the compiler distributes (i + 2) * 20
to i * 20 + 40, while not doing the distribution when the typedef is
arr_2[4][4].
The -fdump-tree-original dumps already diff, so I guess that it is the
parser which does something interesting.
Can anyone enlighten me that which part of the parser I shall further
look into to get a better understanding of the code-gen difference?
Regards,

p.s.
diff of the -fdump-tree-original
- (*(a2 + ((sizetype) ((long unsigned int) i * 20) + 40)))[j] = 2;
+ (*(a2 + ((sizetype) i + 2) * 16))[j] = 2;
