There is no mention of "empty record" in GCC documentation. But
there are
plenty of "empty class" in gcc/cp. This change affects all
targets. C++ ABI
should specify how it should be passed.
About this patch, aren't we supposed to enable new C++ ABIs with
-fabi-version=42 (or whatever the next number is)?
Yes, the patch should definitely make this conditional on
abi_version_at_least.
There is a C++ ABI mailinglist, where you could discuss this issue:
http://sourcerytools.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cxx-abi-dev
Yep. As long as the ABI doesn't state how to pass those I'd rather
_not_ change GCCs way.
It is agreed that GCC is wrong on this:
http://sourcerytools.com/pipermail/cxx-abi-dev/2015-December/002876.html
Yes, I think this is just a (nasty) bug on some GCC targets.
Well, the argument in that thread is weird, because C and C++ empty
structs
are different, so it isn't surprising they are passed differently.
C++ makes those sizeof == 1, while C has them sizeof == 0.
Maybe it isn't surprising, but it isn't particularly helpful either. It
increases the number of places where the 2 are incompatible.
(I personally don't care about empty C structs)
Yep. The C standard doesn't have empty structs; it's a GNU extension. But
in any case argument passing can be compatible between C and C++, so it
really should be.
Before I make any changes, I'd like to ask if we should make
argument passing can be compatible between C and C++ for
all targets GCC support or just x86.
All.
