GCC -O2 failure for mipsel

GCC -O2 failure for mipsel

[Fuxin Zhang]

Hello,
I've met a case where mipsel-linux-gcc -O2 fails,for both
2.96 and the fresh new 3.2.3. Maybe someone can tell me
what's wrong.

I've reduced the problem to the test case below,compile it
with mipsel-linux-gcc -O2(FROM H.J.Lu's redhat miniport,all version,
and 3.2.3 is tested too)


#define PUT_CODE(x,code) ((x)->code = (code))
union test_union {
struct test *t;
int a;
};

struct test {
unsigned short code;
union test_union u[1];
};

char memory[2000];

struct test *test_alloc(int code)
{
struct test *t;
int length=sizeof(struct test);

t = (struct test*)memory;
length = (sizeof(struct test) - sizeof(union test_union)-1)/sizeof(int);
for (;length>=0;length--)
((int*)t)[length] = 0;

PUT_CODE(t,code);

return t;
}

int main()
{
struct test *t;

t = test_alloc(4);

printf("t->code=%d\n",t->code);
}


Problem happens in test_alloc:

00400890 <test_alloc>:
400890: 3c1c0fc0 lui gp,0xfc0
400894: 279c77b0 addiu gp,gp,30640
400898: 0399e021 addu gp,gp,t9
40089c: 8f828054 lw v0,-32684(gp)
4008a0: 8f818054 lw at,-32684(gp)
4008a4: 00000000 nop
4008a8: a4240000 sh a0,0(at)
4008ac: 03e00008 jr ra
4008b0: ac400000 sw zero,0(v0)
--->the last sw is wrong,it should not be reorder to run later than 4008a8.

And gcc experts will find this is a simplfied case of rtx_alloc:).
Yes,the failure
shows up when i try to compile SPEC CPU2000 176.gcc with -O2. The const0_rtx
's code will be set to zero like above.

Thank you in advance.

Your code is incorrect.

This is the errant line:

 > ((int*)t)[length] = 0;

You have declared t as a pointer to struct test, but you're using it
as a pointer to int.  If you look at Pointers, Section 6.2.2.3 in ISO
9899-1990 you'll see that this results in undefined behaviour.

-fno-strict-aliasing should generate the code you want, but it's
better to fix your source.  If you want to use a pointer as a
different type, put it in a union.

 Thanks, -fno-strict-aliasing works.

Perhaps SPEC need to have ISO C explained to them...

It's just there so you can't turn on aliasing for reasonable base
options. It's all a conspiracy, I tell you...

Re: GCC -O2 failure for mipsel

[Andrew Pinski]

It is the gcc component of SPEC that needs explaining to, this has been 
talked about before:

Problem of cross-mipsel-compiler GLIBC-2.3.X

[smills_ho]

Dear All,
    I want to make a cross-compilered glibc-2.3.x and I get the source from
ftp.gun.org. GCC version is 3.2.3, binutils is 2.13.2.1. The step is as
following:

1. Try to build binutils
2. Try to make static GCC
3. Try to make glibc -----> Then it is failed

Is there anybody know what's going on or somebody had successfully to build
the crossed glibc-2.3.x?

Thanks and best regs,

A host cross host compiler for linux systems is a little more involved
than this :)

However, I don't know where you went wrong since you really didn't
provide much in the way of information as to what you did or where it
failed.

Oddly enough, I followed these basic steps and wound up with a working 
cross-compiler from sparc64 -> mipseb (Sun Blade 100 to mips 
big-endian).  Gcc nor glibc gave me any issues.....However, when I tried 
the same exact steps on i686, glibc complained about libgcc not being 
available, among other things.  It's got me baffled, but I'm not exactly 
complaining.  Currently, it's gcc-3.2.3 (propolice patched) + 
glibc-2.3.2 + binutils-2.13.90.0.20, which it'll get rebuilt for the new 
binutils 2.14.

Dear Kumba,
    Should we try this binutils-2.13.90.0.20?
We try the version binutils-2.13.90.0.18 (Debian used) and it is failed on
cross-gcc step :-(

Re: Problem of cross-mipsel-compiler GLIBC-2.3.X

[Kumba]

	I'm not quite sure.  I don't see how trying it could hurt, maybe it 
will work, maybe it won't.  Although, 2.14.90.0.1 was just released as 
well, you might try that, or even CVS Head, as I heard that includes 
last-minute mips fixes.  I'm fairly new to the whole cross-compiler 
thing myself, and recently discovered the HOWTO mentioned in your 
previous mail, which I'm looking at to try and get an i686->mips 
cross-compiler going.  For now though, my sparc->mips cross-compiler 
works, so it's what I'll rely on the most.

Dear Kumba,

    After try several versions of binutils and glibc , it works in crossing
XFree86 4.2.1.
binutils 2.13.2.1 + gcc 3.2.3 + glibc 2.3.2
and some patchs come from debian's packages ( binutils 2.13.90.0.18 ,
gcc-3.2.1,glibc-2.3.1)
