Just to be clear, the ABI requirement is that every symbol has to be at least 2-byte aligned. The problem is not passing the address of the string to printf, the problem is loading that address into a register in the first place. The most efficient way to load an address uses a PC-relative load address instruction, and this requires that the target symbol is 2-byte aligned. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/142346 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
