Subject: Re: [cygming] Invalid alignment for SSE store to
.comm data generated with -O3
This is an example of what I'm talking about: the bar() function is
optimized away to simply "return 0" because the compiler assumes the
alignment is correct without having to actually emit the code to check
it:
$ echo 'char foo[1] __attribute__((aligned(16))); int bar() {
if((int)foo % 16) return 1; else return 0; }' | i686-pc-mingw32-gcc -x c
- -S -o - -fomit-frame-pointer
.file ""
.text
.globl _bar
.def _bar; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef
_bar:
movl $0, %eax
ret
.comm _foo, 16 # 1
