Previously, control flow redundancy only checked the visited bitmap against the control flow graph at return points and before mandatory tail calls, missing various other possibilities of exiting a subprogram, such as by raising or propagating exceptions, and calling noreturn functions. The checks inserted before returns also prevented potential tail-call optimizations. This incremental change introduces options to control checking at each of these previously-missed checkpoints. Unless disabled, a cleanup is introduced to check when an exceptions escapes a subprogram. To avoid disrupting sibcall optimizations, when they are enabled, checks are introduced before calls whose results are immediately returned, whether or not they are ultimately optimized. If enabled, checks are introduced before noreturn calls and exception raises, or only before nothrow noreturn calls.

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.
