--- Comment #6 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Created attachment 32556 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=32556&action=edit patch The issue is that tree-ssa-loop-ivopts.c:cand_value_at converts niter ((unsigned int) n_3 * 2863311531 + 4294967294) to 'int' via static void cand_value_at (struct loop *loop, struct iv_cand *cand, gimple at, tree niter, aff_tree *val) { aff_tree step, delta, nit; struct iv *iv = cand->iv; tree type = TREE_TYPE (iv->base); tree steptype = type; if (POINTER_TYPE_P (type)) steptype = sizetype; tree_to_aff_combination (iv->step, steptype, &step); tree_to_aff_combination (niter, TREE_TYPE (niter), &nit); aff_combination_convert (&nit, steptype); ^^^ which just does comb->type = type; if (comb->rest && !POINTER_TYPE_P (type)) comb->rest = fold_convert (type, comb->rest); thus re-interprets everything as signed. The whole aff_combination_convert function looks suspicious ... but at this stage the easiest thing to do is to avoid this 2nd call to this function (the other always converts to an unsigned type). Unfortunately doing that: Index: gcc/tree-ssa-loop-ivopts.c =================================================================== --- gcc/tree-ssa-loop-ivopts.c (revision 209181) +++ gcc/tree-ssa-loop-ivopts.c (working copy) @@ -4238,8 +4238,7 @@ cand_value_at (struct loop *loop, struct steptype = sizetype; tree_to_aff_combination (iv->step, steptype, &step); - tree_to_aff_combination (niter, TREE_TYPE (niter), &nit); - aff_combination_convert (&nit, steptype); + tree_to_aff_combination (fold_convert (steptype, niter), steptype, &nit); aff_combination_mult (&nit, &step, &delta); if (stmt_after_increment (loop, cand, at)) aff_combination_add (&delta, &step); reveals the other suspicious void tree_to_aff_combination (tree expr, tree type, aff_tree *comb) { aff_tree tmp; enum tree_code code; tree cst, core, toffset; HOST_WIDE_INT bitpos, bitsize; enum machine_mode mode; int unsignedp, volatilep; STRIP_NOPS (expr); which just re-introduces the exact same affine combination. This is kind-of a mess. Either the internal affine workings is modulo two arithmetic and thus it doesn't need to care - but then it needs to use unsigned arithmetic only at affine-to-tree time. Or it depends on the sign of the affine combination but then it has to be more careful. IIRC it is the first, thus affine-to-tree is wrong in returning signed arithmetic and keeping a "type" for the affine combination doesn't make much sense (similar issue for pointer arithmetic btw, where we choose a random "base"). But it's all kind of a mess. Working, somewhat localized patch attached.
