Yup. 0 is a valid value for the parameter, just exposing a bug somewhere else. FWIW I can't reproduce the problem with trunk. I see rcx being saved and restored around the calls, e.g.: movq %rcx, (%rsp) call bar movq (%rsp), %rcx and likewise around the second memcpy. Unfortunately (an old) valgrind on gcc17 doesn't work with with "valgrind -q ./a.out" as in comment #0. It'd be interesting if and when this PR got fixed. HJ, is this something you can bisect?
