            Bug ID: 94373
           Summary: 548.exchange2_r run time is 7-12% worse than GCC 9 at
                    -O2 and generic march/mtune
           Product: gcc
           Version: 10.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jamborm at gcc dot gnu.org

When compiled with just -O2, SPEC 2017 INTrate benchmark
548.exchange2_r runs slower than when compiled with GCC 9.2. It is:

-  8% slower on AMD Zen2-based server CPU (rev. 26b3e568a60)
- 12% slower on Intel Cascade Lake server CPU (rev. abe13e1847f)
-  7% slower on AMD Zen1-based server CPU (rev. 26b3e568a60)

During GCC 10 development cycle the benchmark was relatively noisy and
the run time was increasing in many small steps, but between October 7
and November 15 we were doing 3% better than GCC 9 (on Zen2).
Specifically the following commit brought about the improvement:

pointer arithmetic than array indexing)

But it was undone by its revert:

On the Intel machine, reverting the revert fixes the regression too.
