Bug ID: 120803
Summary: inline assembly sign extends unsigned constraints
Product: gcc
Version: 15.1.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: middle-end
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: oskari.alaranta at bananymous dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Following code possibly incorrectly sign extends constexpr value passed to
inline assembly. Compiled with `g++ --std=c++20 -O2 -c foo.cpp`.
void foo() {
constexpr unsigned char value = 0x80;
asm("int %0" :: "i"(value));
}
Generated assembly for the int instruction is `int $-128` which fails to
assemble with message "Error: operand size mismatch for `int'".
I'm not sure if this is a bug in GCC or binutils. After updating from GCC
12.2.0->15.1.0 and binutils 2.39->2.44 my codebase fails to compile because of
this. GCC's behaviour has not changed, it used to produce `int $-128` even in
12.2.0 but binutils 2.39 accepted it.
