Description Lee Morrow 2004-04-16 21:53:24 UTC
Description of problem:

cc -O3 -fno-strict-aliasing -fpic -W -Wall -Wsign-compare -Wpointer-
arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Waggregate-return -
Wshadow -Werror -c module.c -o module.o

module.c: In function `functionName':
module.c:125: Internal compiler error in output_pic_addr_const, at 
config/i386/i386.c:6140

The aforementioned error occurs when inlining a procedure with 
embedded assembly code.  It happens with a variety of assembler 
snippets very consistently.  When the function is not-inlined, the 
compilation proceeds successfully.  Even the separate module 
containing the non-inlined assembly compiles without a problem.

When the asm() code is shortened and the name space  is very clean 
(few or no header files included and therefore little or no defines, 
typedefs, etc.) the error becomes as follows:

module.c: In function `functionName':
module.c:125: invalid `asm': invalid expression as operand

And if the asm() code is shortened even more it compiles correctly.

Now this seems like a lovely solution except ... I need all of the 
assembly instructions there.

PLEASE NOTE!!! The problem does not happen with gcc 2.95.3 or gcc 
3.3.1 from SuSE.  I will retest with an older version of RedHat 7.2 
gcc.  Since the code was originally developed there, I believe it did 
not have the problem.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-20)

How reproducible:

Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual results:

module.c: In function `functionName':
module.c:125: Internal compiler error in output_pic_addr_const, at 
config/i386/i386.c:6140

and

module.c: In function `functionName':
module.c:125: invalid `asm': invalid expression as operand




Expected results:

Successful compilation of module.c

You need to provide a preprocessed testcase.
Thanks.

Comment 2 Lee Morrow 2004-04-22 15:50:10 UTC
Resolved buffer overrun core dump in GCC source.  Please close the 
call.
