Subject: [Bug preprocessor/31586]  New: -falign-X and -fno-align-X flags have reversed meaning
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 09:17:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-31586-13613@http.gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/> (raw)

The documentation mentions: 

-falign-functions=n

"-fno-align-functions and -falign-functions=1 are equivalent and mean that
functions will not be aligned."
and

"If n is not specified or is zero, use a machine-dependent default."

But, it seems the semantics are reversed when using -fno-align-functions and
-falign-functions. In gcc/opts.c:handle_option, the value variable is set to 1
by default (for -f<flag> flags), and to 0 for -fno-<flag> flags. Sadly, this
should be reversed for falign-X flags: 1 should be used for -fno-align-X and 0
for -falign-X . 

This affects -falign-functions, -falign-jumps, -falign-labels and
-falign-loops, and should be fairly easy to solve to flip the value of 'value'
in handle_option for the -falign-X flags.
