Summary: [arm gcc] NEON: Stack pointer operations performed
even tho stack is not accessed at all in function.
Product: gcc
Version: 4.5.3
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: jul...@cayzac.name
Created attachment 24218
--> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=24218
Source showcasing the problem
Using some float32x4x2_t temporaries, some stack space is allocated even though
the temporaries are made registers and stack never gets accessed inside the
function.
See attachment for C source and a corresponding assembly, produced with:
arm-elf-gcc-4.5 -O3 -march=armv7-a -mthumb -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp -S -o
- test.c | grep -vE '^[[:space:]]*[\.@].*$' (the grep is just there to remove
lines of comments and directives)
The problem also happens in C++.
$ arm-elf-gcc-4.5 --version -v
Using built-in specs.
