-O2 issue on powerpc-eabivle-gcc : Assembler : Illegal immediate value

Dear all ,

 

There is an issue if we use -O2 issue

 

uint8_t illegal_value_test(uint16_t arg0) {

    if (arg0 <= 0x7FF)

        return 1;

    else

        return 0;

}

 

The assembler generated is not correct (main.s)

illegal_value_test:

.LFB0:

  .file 1 "../src/main.c"

  .loc 1 10 0

  .cfi_startproc

.LVL0:

  .loc 1 16 0

  e_subfic %r3,%r3,2047

  e_li %r3,0

  adde %r3,%r3,%r3

 

src/main.s: Assembler messages:

src/main.s:16: Error: illegal immediate value

make: *** [src/main.o] Error 1

 

   Best Regards

Hello Erwan,

Thanks for this report. This is a known issue:

[ENGR00379772] Compiler may generate the instruction e subfic with invalid immediate value when an optimization is enabled.

The only workaround is to disable optimizations.

Anyway, the fix will be released in the next coming build tools update.

I'll check with the product team the exact update release date.

Regards,

Stan
