Bug ID: 57318 Summary: optimizer takes several seconds on nested loops Product: gcc Version: 4.9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: dhazeghi at yahoo dot com Current gcc trunk takes 5 seconds to compile this testcase at -O2 or higher optimization level on x86_64-linux-gnu (2.8GHZ Intel i7). This was distilled from larger program which appears to hang gcc, although I suspect it is actually just extremely slow. This behavior is not present in 4.8 and older versions. $ gcc-trunk -v gcc version 4.9.0 20130517 (experimental) [trunk revision 199006] (GCC) $ gcc-trunk -Os hang.c $ time gcc-4.8 -O2 hang.c real 0m0.101s user 0m0.072s sys 0m0.016s $ time gcc-trunk -O2 hang.c real 0m5.289s user 0m5.232s sys 0m0.024s ----------------------------------- struct S0 { volatile int f0; short f1; } u; int a, b; static struct S0 v; int main () { for (a = 0; a <= 9; a++) { for (b = 0; b <= 9; b++) for (u.f1 = 0; u.f1 <= 9; u.f1++) v.f0; } }
