[Godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/b57EK93e3) and [GCC Bug](https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120268)
```
void f0(unsigned char *ptr, unsigned long len){
for(unsigned long i = 0; i < len; ++i){
ptr[i] = 0;
}
}
void f1(unsigned char *ptr, unsigned long len){
for(unsigned long i = 0; i < len; ++i){
while(ptr[i])
ptr[i]--;
}
}
void f2(unsigned char *ptr){
while(ptr[0])
ptr[0]--;
}
```
When flags are -O3,
f1() compares if ptr[i] is zero before setting it to zero and f0() memset it to zero.
When flags are -O3 and -march=icelake-client, f1() doesn't call memset like f0().
