Bug #: 52241 Summary: Performance degradation of 447.dealII on corei7 at spec2006_base32. Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: vbyakov...@gmail.com Guilty commit c1e8b3edf7b5038f070c7a9732e58d066081a636 is the first bad commit commit c1e8b3edf7b5038f070c7a9732e58d066081a636 Author: bkoz <bkoz@138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4> Date: Mon Jan 23 23:12:01 2012 +0000 caused performance degradation of 447.dealII benchspec 2006.It was happened because there are no inlining a library routine '_Rb_tree_node_base' from libstdc++-v3/src/tree.cc const _Rb_tree_node_base* _Rb_tree_increment(const _Rb_tree_node_base* __x) throw () { return Rb_tree_increment(const_cast<_Rb_tree_node_base*>(_x)); } I found out that the degradation is caused by absence of -fPIC flag in compilation command line. If I add the flag to command line the inlining is happened.
