------- Comment #8 from jakub at gcc dot gnu dot org 2005-12-29 11:53 ------- I don't think this is a bug, in fact, not honoring the volatile in GCC 4.0.x and earlier was a bug. If you want to allow byte access rather than word access, you really need to remove the volatile keyword and then it compiles into restore_fpu: testb $1, boot_cpu_data+15 je .L2 jmp foo .L2: jmp bar .size restore_fpu, .-restore_fpu .ident "GCC: (GNU) 4.2.0 20051223 (experimental)"
You should report this against Linux kernel, it shouldn't use volatile in there. -- jakub at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24810
