Hi,
I encountered the problem that the avx2 code crashes with segfault.
This happens if the cygwin gcc or cygwin mingw gcc compiler is used.
To reproduce the problem, compile the following test case with:
gcc -O0 avx2test.c -mavx2 -o avx2test
or
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -O0 avx2test.c -mavx2 -o avx2test
then, run avx2test.exe.
I looked into this problem a bit, and noticed that vmovdqa/vmovaps is
used for misaligned operands. If run
gcc -S -O0 avx2test.c -mavx2
and replase all vmovdqa/vmovaps with vmovdqu/vmovups in avx2test.s,
then run
gcc avx2test.s -o avx2test
the test case runs correctly.
This does not happen with gcc in Linux, mingw gcc in linux and MSYS2.
Only the cygwin gcc (v11.4, 12.3, 13.2) causes this problem.
Any idea?
