Hello, this is the variant intended for the 4.8/4.9 branches of the patch: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-07/msg01072.html
As discussed, it does *not* actually change ABI, but only warn when encountering a situation where the ABI will change in a future GCC. (Avoiding the specific term "GCC 4.10" here since I'm not certain whether the next GCC release will in fact be called that ...) Tested on powerpc64-linux and powerpc64le-linux; also verified using the ABI compat suite (against an unpatched GCC) that this patch does not change the ABI. OK for 4.8/4.9 once the mainline patch is in? Bye, Ulrich gcc/ChangeLog: * config/rs6000/rs6000-protos.h (rs6000_special_adjust_field_align_p): Add prototype. * config/rs6000/rs6000.c (rs6000_special_adjust_field_align_p): New function. Issue -Wpsabi warning if future GCC releases will use different field alignment rules for this type. * config/rs6000/sysv4.h (ADJUST_FIELD_ALIGN): Call it. * config/rs6000/linux64.h (ADJUST_FIELD_ALIGN): Likewise. * config/rs6000/freebsd64.h (ADJUST_FIELD_ALIGN): Likewise. gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gcc.target/powerpc/ppc64-abi-warn-3.c: New test. * gcc.c-torture/execute/20050316-1.x: Add -Wno-psabi. * gcc.c-torture/execute/20050604-1.x: Add -Wno-psabi. * gcc.c-torture/execute/20050316-3.x: New file. Add -Wno-psabi. * gcc.c-torture/execute/pr23135.x: Likewise.
