Extended Description

Test case:

#include <stdint.h>

int8_t g_8[6][10];

int main(void)
{
int i, j;
for (i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j < 10; j++)
g_8[i][j] = 0x44L;
}
return 0;
}

Description:
In the above code g_8 is an array of 6x10 bytes, which is initialized to 0x44. At -O2 and -O3, this array is initialized using memset().

C interface to memset(): void* memset(void* ptr, int value, size_t num);
Asm interface to memset(): ptr -> reg r15
data -> reg r14
size -> reg r13

Assembly code at -O2 and -O3 for call to memset():

main:
mov.w #​0, r11
.LBB1_1
mov.w r11, r15
add.w #g_8, r15
mov.w #​68, r14
mov.w #​0, r13 /* size expected here, passed 0 /
mov.w #​10, r12 / Size passed in r12, ignored */
call #memset
add.w #​10, r11
cmp.w #​60, r11
jne .LBB1_1
mov.w #​0, r15

Bug: size argument to memset() should be passed in register r13. Instead it is passed in r12.

I am attaching the asm file at -O2. Below are the cmdline options.
