Bug ID: 28937
Summary: clang is not knowing using const-attribute for the
standard math functions
Product: clang
Version: 3.8
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P
Component: Frontend
Assignee: unassignedclangb...@nondot.org
Reporter: n...@chello.at
CC: llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org
Classification: Unclassified
unlike gcc, clang doesn`t seem to have the knowledge about std math functions
builtin.
Similar to knowing memcpy and generating optimized code, clang should know that
all math functions only depend on their arguments.
For the code snippet below, I would expect that
* Clang should only call the function once
What happens is that
* Clang cant deduce that the function is "const" and doesnt remove any call
(apparently this could also be solved in the std library, but I doubt its wise
to depend on this, rather than simply expect that the standard functions are
deterministic)
------------ (code snippet)
#include <math.h>
float failttooptimize(float a)
{
return sin(a) + sin(a) + sin(a);
}
__attribute__((const)) double cos(double a);
float canoptimize(float a)
{
return cos(a) + cos(a) + cos(a);
}
