The preprocessed version of the file that fails to compile
Created attachment 91678 [details]
A short script that I use to reproduce the error on my system.
The bug report and the previous atachment is all that is needed
to reproduce the bug. This script is attached in order to show
the compiler options used when the bug first appeared.
To use the script you must have kernel-source-2.4.20-8 installed.
You probably must run make config and make dep too. However, you
probably do not need to configure exactly the same, as the script
contains the relevant compiler options. Just in case, I used
make xconfig, loaded configs/kernel-2.4.20-i586.config, but then
set the architecture to K6.
I had reported the error to gnatsweb/gcc (gnu.org's bug reporting system) before I knew that the bug does not happen in gcc 3.2.3. Now they say my report duplicates another report that was fixed in 3.2.3. It might be usefull for you to know their resolution. Check http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gcc&pr=9888 Works for me in gcc-3.2.3-13. |
Description of problem: Compiling the kernel source rpm (kernel-source-2.4.20-8.i386.rpm) using gcc-3.2.2-5, I get error message when compiling the file drivers/net/sk98lin/skgepnmi.c: {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:10554: Error: value of -141 too large for field of 1 bytes at 27023 Producing an assembly file, i.e. repeating the compile with -S for -c, and inspecting line 10554, it contains the instruction "loop .L1876". The label .L1876 appears in line 10520. I have no means to check if the intervening code fills 141 bytes as the error message says, but it appears reasonable. I attach below the preprocesed file skgepnmi.i, produced with gcc <flags> -E. I also attach the script that I use to reproduce the error, it shows the original compile flags used. When reproducing, notice that compiling the .c file without -O fails because of a preprocessor test: #if !defined(__OPTIMIZE__) || !defined(__KERNEL__) #warning You must compile this file with the correct options! #warning See the last lines of the source file. #error You must compile this driver with "-O". #endif If the file is first preprocessed with -O2, and then compiled without it, it compiles OK. I can also compile directly with -O (no number). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcc-3.2.2-5 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install gcc-3.2.2-5 2. Place the attached file skgepnmi.i in a suitable working directory 3. gcc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=k6 -c skgepnmi.i Actual results: /tmp/ccn9jkBk.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccn9jkBk.s:10707: Error: value of -141 too large for field of 1 bytes at 27385 (The line number 10707 here is different from 10554 in the original failure because I have reduced the number of options to gcc to a minimum.) Expected results: No messages. File skgepnmi.o produced. Additional info: The error disappears if any one of the three options "-O2", "-fomit-frame-pointer", or "-march=k6" is deleted. The error does not happen if the compiler is gcc-3.2.3 built from unmodified sources.
