--- Comment #10 from Kewen Lin <linkw at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Created attachment 57844 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=57844&action=edit patch changing the current implementation Considering the current implementation is not useful at all for both kernel and userspace uses, I'm inclined to change the current implementation instead of introducing another option, but updating the documentation to emphasize the NOPs may not be consecutive for this case.
