I seeing failures in gcc.dg/cleanup-13.c on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and i686-unknown-linux-gnu with gcc-4.4.3 svn. E.g.:
FAIL: gcc.dg/cleanup-13.c (test for excess errors) http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2009-11/msg01708.html gcc.dg/cleanup-13.c: Assembler messages: gcc.dg/cleanup-13.c:305: Error: CFI instruction used without previous .cfi_startproc compiler exited with status 1 The failure only occurs on certain systems. E.g. on CFARM gcc14 it does NOT occur. However I do see it on nearly every other CFARM i686 & x86_64 box (e.g. gcc03, gcc09, gcc11, gcc12, gcc13, gcc16, gcc17 all fail). It probably has to do with older software (gas?) I seem to recall this came up before and don't recall whether it was fixed somehow or not. But the error does not occur on mainline. The uname and as --version output on the box it passes is: Linux gcc14 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jun 21 04:47:08 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.18.0.20080103 And if it helps, the uname and as --version output on the failing systems is: Linux gcc03 2.6.12-10-686-smp #1 SMP Fri Nov 18 12:27:41 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux GNU assembler 2.16.1 Debian GNU/Linux Linux gcc09 2.6.12-10-686-smp #1 SMP Sat Mar 11 16:41:12 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux GNU assembler 2.16.1 Debian GNU/Linux Linux gcc11 2.6.18-6-vserver-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 25 21:35:11 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux GNU assembler 2.17 Debian GNU/Linux Linux gcc12 2.6.18-6-vserver-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 25 21:35:11 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux GNU assembler 2.17 Debian GNU/Linux Linux gcc13 2.6.18-6-vserver-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:55:04 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux GNU assembler 2.17 Debian GNU/Linux Linux gcc16 2.6.18-6-vserver-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 25 21:35:11 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux GNU assembler 2.17 Debian GNU/Linux Linux gcc17 2.6.18-6-vserver-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 25 21:35:11 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux GNU assembler 2.17 Debian GNU/Linux -- Summary: Failure in gcc.dg/cleanup-13.c on older x86 boxes Product: gcc Version: 4.4.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: middle-end AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: ghazi at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC target triplet: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu i686-unknown-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42111
