Description Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-01-16 22:28:21 UTC 
Description of Problem:
Compiling SSE optimizable code with -msse fails: gcc uses "%xmm8" and
similar registers to address SSE registers, binutils doesn't handle them. Not 100% sure whether this is gcc's or as's fault.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.11.92.0.12-8

How Reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try compiling the attached preprocessor output with -msse



Actual Results:
/tmp/ccmnce33.s:264: Error: bad register name `%xmm8' [...]

Expected Results:

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-01-18 16:51:33 UTC 
Just checked the spec, xmm8 is a x86-64 register, so it probably shouldn't be
used by -msse, making it a gcc bug.
Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2002-01-18 17:55:34 UTC 
Yeah, http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-01/msg01300.html
Comment 4 Jakub Jelinek 2002-02-01 16:23:48 UTC 
Fixed in gcc-3.1-0.19.
