APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When compiling with the -qhot optimization level, an incorrect
    optimization is performed that causes both the true and false
    blocks of an IF statement to execute identical code.  For
    example:
    
    if(test==0)
       do_one();
    else
       do_two();
    
    In this case, the false/else block is run in both IF scenarios,
    i.e. test==0 or test!=0.
    

Local fix

  • Compile with -qhot=level=0 or -qnohot
    

Problem summary

  • PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The issue was determined to be an incorrect loop transformation
    optimization applied when using -qhot.
    
    USERS AFFECTED:
    The rare optimization issue may be seen in code that uses -qhot
    and contains a loop structure that has the ability to break out
    of the loop.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The optimization was corrected, and correct code is now
    generated.
    

Temporary fix
