--- Comment #16 from H.J. Lu <hjl.tools at gmail dot com> 2011-08-03 02:40:05 UTC --- The fundamental question is what the actual address for (symbol FOO + const_int Y), where the numerical value of (symbol FOO + const_int Y) is outside of [0 - (2 to the power of hardware address bits) - 1], should be. I believe the answer should be "implementation defined" and programs which depend on certain behavior are broken.
