            Bug ID: 64294
           Summary: invalid code, zero check gets optimized away
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: rtl-optimization
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

the testcase

The testcase is a minimized / cut-out of some code which basically does:


if (!backsize)
     exit(11);
while(backsize--) {
     *ddst=*(ddst+backbytes);
     ddst++;
}

gcc somehow assumes that backsize can't get zero which it can. I added an 'asm
volatile("labele:");' statement so the check can be easy spotted. At -O2 gcc
produces:

0000020a <labele>:
 20a:   8b 44 24 20             mov    0x20(%esp),%eax
 20e:   66 90                   xchg   %ax,%ax
 210:   0f b6 54 0d 00          movzbl 0x0(%ebp,%ecx,1),%edx
 215:   83 c5 01                add    $0x1,%ebp
 218:   88 55 ff                mov    %dl,-0x1(%ebp)
 21b:   39 e8                   cmp    %ebp,%eax
 21d:   75 f1                   jne    210 <labele+0x6>

So it copies the first byte before checking for equal/zero.
With -O1 instead:
0000028a <labele>:
 28a:   85 f6                   test   %esi,%esi
 28c:   75 0a                   jne    298 <labele+0xe>
 28e:   83 ec 0c                sub    $0xc,%esp
 291:   6a 0b                   push   $0xb
 293:   e8 fc ff ff ff          call   294 <labele+0xa>
                        294: R_386_PC32 exit
 298:   8b 5c 24 10             mov    0x10(%esp),%ebx
 29c:   8b 54 24 2c             mov    0x2c(%esp),%edx
 2a0:   0f b6 0c 13             movzbl (%ebx,%edx,1),%ecx
 2a4:   88 0b                   mov    %cl,(%ebx)
 2a6:   83 c3 01                add    $0x1,%ebx
 2a9:   39 d8                   cmp    %ebx,%eax
 2ab:   75 f3                   jne    2a0 <labele+0x16>

There is the 0 check withint the first two opcodes including the exit(0)
statement.
