>Description:
Base gcc 4.2.1 makes incorrect code when swapping array elements by xor without optimization.
Simple .c code attached as xor.txt.
Checked on FreeBSD 9.0 on i386/amd64/sparc64 platforms.
>How-To-Repeat:
# gcc -o xor xor.txt
# gcc -o xoro1 -O1 xor.txt
# ./xor
a0 = 127 b0 = 33
a1 = 127 b1 = 33
a2 = 127 b2[0] = 33
a3 = 127 b3[0] = 0
# ./xoro1
a0 = 127 b0 = 33
a1 = 127 b1 = 33
a2 = 127 b2[0] = 33
a3 = 127 b3[0] = 33

But in theory output must be identical.
>Fix:


Patch attached with submission follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sysexits.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int a0 = 33;
	int b0 = 127;
	int a1 = 33;
	int b1 = 127;
	int a2 = 33;
	int b2[] = {127};
	int a3 = 33;
	int b3[] = {127};

	a0 ^= b0 ^= a0 ^= b0;
	b1 ^= a1 ^= b1 ^= a1;
	a2 ^= b2[0] ^= a2 ^= b2[0];
	b3[0] ^= a3 ^= b3[0] ^= a3;

	printf("a0 = %i b0 = %i\n", a0, b0);
	printf("a1 = %i b1 = %i\n", a1, b1);
	printf("a2 = %i b2[0] = %i\n", a2, b2[0]);
	printf("a3 = %i b3[0] = %i\n", a3, b3[0]);

	return EX_OK;
}
