[llvm-dev] Ineffective code after loop unrolling with -O3, ok with -Os

[Dávid Bolvanský via llvm-dev]

Hi all,

I found some issues during my testing of "loop unrolling" capabilities of
LLVM's opt.

Seems like LLVM generates slower code with -O3 since it wrongly decides to
unroll a simple loop.
With option -Os, no loop unrolling, the output looks well.

Code:
