Most of the struct-layout-1 tests started failing on powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu with this patch:
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?view=rev&rev=146817 r146817 | matz | 2009-04-26 19:35:04 +0000 (Sun, 26 Apr 2009) Here's a minimized testcase that demonstrates the failure: struct S301 { _Decimal32 b[5]; } s301; int checkx301 (struct S301 arg) { return (arg.b[0] != s301.b[0]); } Compiling with default options, including with a powerpc-linux cross cc1, results in: t002.c: In function checkx301: t002.c:9: internal compiler error: in rs6000_secondary_memory_needed_rtx, at config/rs6000/rs6000.c:11520 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions. This could be an existing backend problem exposed by the patch. -- Summary: struct-layout-1 test failures passing struct containing _Decimal32 Product: gcc Version: 4.5.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: ice-on-valid-code Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: janis at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC target triplet: powerpc-linux http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39955
