--- Comment #6 from Steve Ellcey <sje at cup dot hp.com> 2011-03-22 16:59:03 UTC --- I guess we disagree on what the test should be doing. I agree that it is a valid test for showing that nothing gets broken when doing the optimization, but it is not a test that shows that the optimization is actually happening (unless I am missing something). If something were to change in GCC and we stopped inlining snprintf, this test would continue to pass and we would not know that we had a performance regression.
