            Bug ID: 96271
           Summary: Failure to optimize memcmp of doubles to avoid going
                    through memory
           Product: gcc
           Version: 11.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: gabravier at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

bool f(double a, double b)
{
   return memcmp(&a, &b, sizeof(double)) == 0;
}

With -O3, LLVM outputs this :

f(double, double):
  movq rax, xmm0
  movq rcx, xmm1
  cmp rax, rcx
  sete al
  ret

GCC outputs this:

f(double, double):
  movsd QWORD PTR [rsp-8], xmm0
  movsd QWORD PTR [rsp-16], xmm1
  mov rax, QWORD PTR [rsp-16]
  cmp QWORD PTR [rsp-8], rax
  sete al
  ret
