>Description:
As part of the mono project we build a library that
needs to detect the x86 processor features. The provided function
is compiled correctly when building a static library, but the compilation
fails when building a shared library.
Until the bug is fixed it would be nce to know if there is a different
workaround. Thanks.
>How-To-Repeat:
Save the following code to a file name cp.c and compile enabling PIC:
static int
cpuid (int id, int* p_eax, int* p_ebx, int* p_ecx, int* p_edx)
{
__asm__ __volatile__ ("cpuid"
: "=a" (*p_eax), "=b" (*p_ebx), "=c" (*p_ecx), "=d" (*p_edx)
: "a" (id));
return 1;
}
and compile it with:
gcc272 -c -fPIC cp.c
error:
cp.c: In function `cpuid':
cp.c:9: fixed or forbidden register was spilled.
This may be due to a compiler bug or to impossible asm
statements or clauses.
gcc-3.1 -c -fPIC cp.c
error:
cp.c: In function `cpuid':
cp.c:5: can't find a register in class `BREG' while reloading `asm'
gcc-2.95 -c -fPIC cp.c
error:
cp.c: In function `cpuid':
cp.c:7: Invalid `asm' statement:
cp.c:7: fixed or forbidden register 3 (bx) was spilled for class BREG.
>Fix:
Compile without -fPIC and it builds fine. I tryed compiling with different
-O options to no avail.
