Pointless instruction?

Name: Anonymous 2010-04-26 13:49

What does this x86 assembler instruction do?

lea  eax, [eax+0]

AFAIK this has no effect. Then what the hell did GCC generate this for? (in /O3 mode!)

ITT people don't understand why compilers might want to use nops in -O3 because they don't know how computers work.
