Hi all,
While doing some experimentation with options
in arm-cpus.in I hit an assembler error where
the alphabetical sorting in arm_rewrite_selected_arch
would not sort the string "+simd+fp16" properly
into "+fp16+simd" like gas expects.
The way the comparator function compare_opt_names
is written it can never return false as the for-loop starts
from 0 and doesn't have an exit condition and its only
exit point is a "return true;".
I think it also hits undefined behaviour if the second string
is shorter than the first.
In any case, what we need is a strcmp to perform a normal
alphabetical comparison, which is what this patch does.
With this we canonicalise "+simd+fp16" to "+fp16+simd" as expected.
Bootstrapped and tested on arm-none-linux-gnueabihf.
Committed to trunk.
Thanks,
Kyrill

* common/config/arm/arm-common.c (compare_opt_names): Add function
comment. Use strcmp instead of manual loop.
