Bug description

$ cat opt.ml
let x = ref 0 in
for i = 1 to 10 do
x := !x + i
done

$ /opt/ocaml-3.12.1/bin/ocamlopt -dlambda -c opt.ml
(seq (let (x/1030 0) (for i/1031 1 to 10 (assign x/1030 (+ x/1030 i/1031))))
0a)

$ /opt/ocaml-3.12.1/bin/ocamlopt -g -dlambda -c opt.ml
(seq
(let (x/1030 (makemutable 0 0))
(before 17-54
(for i/1031 1 to 10
(before 38-49 (setfield_imm 0 x/1030 (+ (field 0 x/1030) i/1031))))))
0a)

When using -g int ref is allocated on the heap. This is rather surprising - I expected -g to only add debugging symbols and not prevent optimizations.

This is not longer happening on trunk with r11307:

$ ../../bin/ocamlopt -g -dlambda -c opt.ml:
(seq
(let (x/1030 0)
(before 17-54
(for i/1031 1 to 10 (before 38-49 (assign x/1030 (+ x/1030 i/1031))))))
0a)

I suspect it was fixed on trunk with #5205 @ r11085..

Could you confirm it's been fixed with the current trunk?

Yes, this exact use case is fixed, thanks!

But I am not sure that using -g will not prevent other optimizations cause looking at the code it seems that some optimization passes take -g option into the consideration. Actually, initially I wanted to clarify the meaning of -g and this specific example was the easiest to spot. So is it expected for -g to influence the generated code?

I created the more accurate bug #5426 to track the new question. Thanks for your participation.

Reopening, as one place in the code needs better handling of -g flag
