Hello I've spent a day now trying to figure out why bzip2 compress/decompress doesn't work when using sparc32plus-linux-user on x86. I've tracked the problem to the Zero flag being improperly set (attached is a small exe/src that reproduces the problem.. it reports "Greater" on real hardware, "Less Than" on qemu current). The issue seems to be a misordering of an x86 sub instruction. I tried to track this down in the tcg code but I quickly got lost. The code does this for a compare (on sparc the compare turns into a subtract with result as the [ignores] zero reg): mov_i32 cc_src_0,g4_0 ; mov_i32 cc_src_1,g4_1 ; load g4 (0xaae60) mov_i32 cc_src2_0,g3_0 ; mov_i32 cc_src2_1,g3_1 ; load g3 (0) sub2_i32 cc_dst_0,cc_dst_1,cc_src2_0,cc_src2_1,cc_src_0,cc_src_1 ; result = 0xaafe0-0 movi_i32 psr,$0x0 ; clear psr mov_i32 tmp42,cc_dst_0 ; get cc_dst_0 movi_i32 tmp43,$0x0 ; movi_i32 tmp44,$0x0 ; movi_i32 tmp45,$0x0 ; zero extends brcond2_i32 tmp42,tmp43,tmp44,tmp45,$0x1,$0x0 ; if not zero, skip movi_i32 tmp19,$0x400000 ; else set zero flag which converts into x86: 0xb80da04d: sub %ecx,%eax ; %ecx = g4-g3 0xb80da04f: sbb %ebx,%edx 0xb80da051: mov %eax,0x6c(%ebp) ; saving g3, not the result (ecx)! 0xb80da054: mov %edx,0x70(%ebp) ; 0xb80da057: xor %edx,%edx 0xb80da059: xor %ecx,%ecx ; clearing our result for use as psr ; result is lost! ; the later test for zero is done ; against g3 instead, which ; sets the zero flag when it ... ; shouldn't 0xb80da06f: test %eax,%eax 0xb80da071: jne 0xb80da091 ; skip if not zero .. 0xb80da07f: mov 0x8c(%ebp),%eax ; load psr 0xb80da085: or $0x400000,%eax ; set zero flag So unless there's some weird AT&T/intel ordering thing that is confusing me (please let me know if I am missing something), TCG is getting confused about which argument of the subtract is the result. I'm not sure how to fix this though... Thanks for any help Vince
