3.4.173 –xsafe=mem

(SPARC) Allow the compiler to assume that no memory protection violations occur.

Using this option allows the compiler to assume no memory–based traps occur. It grants permission to use the speculative load instruction on the SPARC V9 platforms.

This option is effective only when used with optimization level -O5.

Because non-faulting loads do not cause a trap when a fault such as address misalignment or segmentation violation occurs, you should use this option only for programs in which such faults cannot occur. Because few programs incur memory-based traps, you can safely use this option for most programs. Do not use this option with programs that explicitly depend on memory-based traps to handle exceptional conditions.
