--- Comment #45 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Consider e.g. one source file INTEGER FOO COMMON /BLK/ K(64) DO I=1,64 K(I)=1 END DO IF (FOO(5,12).NE.51) CALL ABORT END and another one: FUNCTION FOO(I, J) COMMON /BLK/ K(1) FOO = K(I) + K(J) + K(2*I) + K(2*J) END FUNCTION If the second source file is compiled with -O2, it will return "wrong" value, as if all accesses to K were using the same index (because the only valid index is 1). If you compile with -O2 -fno-tree-dominator-opts, then it "works".
