Summary: gcc -mtune=native generates unsoported instructions
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P3
Component: c
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: nathanael.schaeffer...@gmail.com
With gcc (GCC) 4.6.0 20110513 (prerelease)
I compile on my laptop :
----
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU U5400 @ 1.20GHz
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov
pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm
pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl
xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl e
st tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm popcnt lahf_lm arat dts
----
then "gcc -mtune=native" generates unsuported instructions like PINSRD (which
is part of SSE4.1 according to wikipedia, not supported by this CPU)
I guess -mtune=native uncorrectly detects this CPU in version 4.6.0
Version 4.5.x did work correctly.
WORKAROUND: use -mtune=core2
