--- Comment #27 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> --- here is a variant of orignal testcase for tree-tail-merge struct a { int a[100000]; }; typedef struct a misaligned_t __attribute__ ((aligned (8))); typedef struct a aligned_t __attribute__ ((aligned (32))); __attribute__ ((used)) __attribute__ ((noinline)) t(void *a, int misaligned, aligned_t *d) { int i,v; for (i=0;i<100000;i++) { if (misaligned) v=((misaligned_t *)a)->a[i]; else v=((aligned_t *)a)->a[i]; d->a[i]+=v; } } struct b {int v; misaligned_t m;aligned_t aa;} b; aligned_t d; main() { t(&b.m, 1, &d); } $ ./xgcc -B ./ -O3 t.c -fdump-tree-all-details t.c:10:1: warning: return type defaults to �int� [-Wimplicit-int] t(void *a, int misaligned, aligned_t *d) ^ t.c:24:1: warning: return type defaults to �int� [-Wimplicit-int] main() ^ $ ./a.out Segmentation fault It works (by accident) for GCC 4.7, so it is a regression again...
