The real problem here is this assert: if (hard_regno == -1) { /* Something failed if the register wasn't on the stack. If we had malformed asms, we zapped the instruction itself, but that didn't produce the same pattern of register sets as before. To prevent further failure, adjust REGSTACK to include REG at TOP. */ gcc_assert (any_malformed_asm); regstack->reg[++regstack->top] = REGNO (reg); return; } If IRA uses DF_LIVE, the assert may trigger if there is a use of a stack register that is not initialized. The following C test case (derived from gfortran.dg/pr40587.f) shows the problem: void test (int *i, double *r, double *result) { int i2; double r2; i2 = *i; if (i == 0) r2 = *r; else error (); *result = r2; } r2 is used uninitialized if the path through "error()" is taken. When using DF_LR, r2 is made live through that path all the way up to the function entry, but when using DF_LIVE r2 is only live in the trace from "r2 = *r" to "*result = r2". With IRA using DF_LIVE and removing the assert, the result is an fstpl instruction that triggers an FP-stack underflow. IMHO that would be a reasonable behavior for this kind of problem.
