--- Comment #8 from Georg-Johann Lay <gjl at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Eric Gallager from comment #6) > gcc-5 branch is closed; is this bug still valid for newer branches? ...and for such "spill fails" it's impossible to tell, at least for me, whether they are distinct issues or duplictes of each other. Even with newer versions of the compiler, some optimization issues might be caused by too much spilling. At least that's what I'd infer from reading .reload dumps. So there is still issues with spilling in newer versions, even if they are no ICEs. Moreover, register selection if often not optimal. The old lreg / greg was much smarter in that regard.
