------- Comment #12 from hp at gcc dot gnu dot org 2008-10-27 16:09 ------- I had an "old" native x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu tree around from [trunk revision 139963], and I see the corresponding effect there.
Of all four combinations of {,-fno-tree-reassoc} {,-fschedule-insns -fschedule-insns2}, together with -fno-ivopts -fno-reorder-blocks -fno-gcse, it was plain -fno-tree-reassoc (no scheduling) that produces the smallest stack-frame and *at a glance* smaller, faster code. (FWIW, I'm a bit surprised to see that -fschedule-insns -fschedule-insns2 is not the default for this arch.) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37916
