>Description:
The following program will abort when compiled with          -O2 -funroll-loops.   This is because the loop in "foo"
is unrolled incorrectly.  It is unrolled 4 times and
executed 49 times, for 196 stores, plus there is 1 extra store before the loop.  This is not enough; there should be 3  stores pulled out of the loop.

int a[200];
int foo() {
  int i;
  for (i=198; i>=0; i--)
    a[i] = i;
  a[199] = 199;
}
main() {
  int i;
  foo();
  for ( i=0; i<199; i++ )
    if ( a[i]!=i )
      abort();
}
>How-To-Repeat:
gcc -O2 -funroll-loops
a.out
