:I've not looked at 3.3, but I seem to recall that GCC 3.2
:did not actually align the stack within each function, but
:preserved the alignment. (That is, each function assumed the stack
:had a certain alignment on entry and ensured that alignment
:was preserved for any subsequent function calls.)
Easy to test... ah, ok. 3.3 aligns the stack in main().
main:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
subl $8, %esp
andl $-16, %esp <<<<< ailgns stack here andl 0xfffffff0,%esp
...
And the preserves the alignment in other procedures... 8 + ebp + retaddr
is 16 bytes:
charlie:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
subl $8, %esp /* I declared 'volatile int x' as a stack var */
call fubar
call fubar
call fubar
leave
ret
:If I'm remembering this correctly, then aligning
:the stack in crt1.o would be pretty much essential.

For gcc 2.95, yes.
