Anyway, the problems with reload continues...error: unrecognizable insn First, I have had a problem with loading a register with a constant. (no clobber). I have solved this problem by adding > (define_insn "_arm_movqi_insn_const" > [(set (match_operand:QI 0 "register_operand" "=r") > (match_operand:QI 1 "const_int_operand" ""))] > "TARGET_ARM && TARGET_SWP_BYTE_WRITES > && ( register_operand (operands[0], QImode))" > "@ > mov%?\\t%0, %1" > [(set_attr "type" "*") > (set_attr "predicable" "yes")] > ) I am very shure that this does only cure the symptoms, and it will better to fix this in the reload stage, but at least, it worked, and I was able to compile the whole linux kernel! After testing that the kernel is running, I have tried to compile uCLinux. And there is the next problem.... > ../ncurses/./base/lib_set_term.c: In function '_nc_setupscreen': > ../ncurses/./base/lib_set_term.c:470: error: unrecognizable insn: > (insn 1199 1198 696 37 ../ncurses/./base/lib_set_term.c:429 (parallel > [ (set (mem/s/j:QI (reg/f:SI 3 r3 [491]) [0 <variable>._clear+0 S1 > A8] > ) (reg:QI 0 r0)) > (clobber (subreg:QI (reg:DI 11 fp) 0)) > ]) -1 (nil) > (nil)) > ../ncurses/./base/lib_set_term.c:470: internal compiler error: in > extract_insn, > at recog.c:2020 P The source code line is: > newscr->_clear = TRUE; Obviously, TRUE is loaded in r0, but I don't know why this construct (storing a byte into a struct member referenced by a pointer) is not evaluated. I fear that these problems are creating an endless story, and sorry for generating traffic on this list, because I'm still no gcc expert... On the other hand, the compiler now has generated code from hundreds of files, and maybe I'm very near to success now. regards Wolfgang -- We're back to the times when men were men and wrote their own device drivers.
