[avr-gcc-list] Saving useless instructions in floating point functions calls

[Pascal Brisset]

Hi,

compiling the following toy example:

-8<------toto.c-------------------
#include <inttypes.h>
float x;
int main( void ) { return (x+1); }
-8<-------------------------------

using the following compilation command

        avr-gcc -mmcu=atmega8 -S -O4 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes  toto.c

I get assembler code where a lot of instructions are useless. Moves between
registers (used to store floating point arguments and results of floating
point routines) unfortunately appear:

[...]
        rcall __addsf3
        movw r26,r24
        movw r24,r22
        movw r22,r24
        movw r24,r26
        rcall __fixsfsi
[...]

Do I miss the compiler option which would be able to remove this useless code ?

--Pascal

PS: I'm using the unstable Debian package:
