DImode is aligned at 4 byte according to i386 psABI. This 4.4 patch http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-02/msg00184.html
will use 4byte alignment for DImode. But Ada doesn't follow i386 psABI. validate_alignment in ada/decl.c does new_align = UI_To_Int (alignment); ... align = MAX (align, new_align == 0 ? 1 : new_align * BITS_PER_UNIT); It changes DImode alignment from 32bit to 64bit and turns DImode integer into a DImode record. As the result, Ada fails to compile s-pack33.adb: s-pack33.adb:52:49: size for "E0" too small, minimum allowed is 64 s-pack33.adb:53:49: size for "E1" too small, minimum allowed is 64 s-pack33.adb:54:49: size for "E2" too small, minimum allowed is 64 s-pack33.adb:55:49: size for "E3" too small, minimum allowed is 64 s-pack33.adb:56:49: size for "E4" too small, minimum allowed is 64 s-pack33.adb:57:49: size for "E5" too small, minimum allowed is 64 s-pack33.adb:58:49: size for "E6" too small, minimum allowed is 64 s-pack33.adb:59:49: size for "E7" too small, minimum allowed is 64 s-pack33.adb:62:30: size for "Cluster" too small, minimum allowed is 512 because validate_size has (gdb) call debug_tree (size) <integer_cst 0xb7d0d4d0 type <integer_type 0xb7cf8068 bit_size_type> constant invariant 33> (gdb) call debug_tree (type_size) <integer_cst 0xb7ceb738 type <integer_type 0xb7cf8068 bit_size_type> constant invariant visited 64> (gdb) call debug_tree (gnu_type) <record_type 0xb7d0ed00 system__pack_33__bits_33___PAD sizes-gimplified asm_written visited type_5 DI size <integer_cst 0xb7ceb738 type <integer_type 0xb7cf8068 bit_size_type> constant invariant visited 64> unit size <integer_cst 0xb7ceb754 type <integer_type 0xb7cf8000 long int> constant invariant visited 8> align 64 symtab -1210166256 alias set -1 canonical type 0xb7d0ed00 fields <field_decl 0xb7d052e0 F type <integer_type 0xb7d0ec98 system__pack_33__bits_33 type <integer_type 0xb7d0ec30 system__pack_33__bits_33___UMT> sizes-gimplified asm_written visited unsigned type_2 DI size <integer_cst 0xb7ceb738 64> unit size <integer_cst 0xb7ceb754 8> align 32 symtab -1210166464 alias set -1 canonical type 0xb7d0ec98 precision 64 min <integer_cst 0xb7d0d364 0> max <integer_cst 0xb7d0d3f0 0x1ffffffff>> unsigned decl_3 decl_5 DI file s-pack33.ads line 6 col 9 size <integer_cst 0xb7ceb738 64> unit size <integer_cst 0xb7ceb754 8> align 32 offset_align 128 offset <integer_cst 0xb7ceb968 constant invariant visited 0> bit offset <integer_cst 0xb7ceb984 constant invariant 0> context <record_type 0xb7d0ed00 system__pack_33__bits_33___PAD>> Ada size <integer_cst 0xb7ceb738 64> chain <type_decl 0xb7d0edd0 system__pack_33__bits_33___PAD>> (gdb) Before my patch, validate_size has (gdb) call debug_tree (size) <integer_cst 0xb7c9f444 type <integer_type 0xb7c8a068 bit_size_type> constant invariant 33> (gdb) <integer_cst 0xb7c9f444 type <integer_type 0xb7c8a068 bit_size_type> constant invariant 33> (gdb) call debug_tree (type_size) <integer_cst 0xb7c9f444 type <integer_type 0xb7c8a068 bit_size_type> constant invariant 33> (gdb) call debug_tree (gnu_type) <integer_type 0xb7ca0c98 system__pack_33__bits_33 type <integer_type 0xb7ca0c30 system__pack_33__bits_33___UMT public unsigned type_1 DI size <integer_cst 0xb7c7d738 constant invariant visited 64> unit size <integer_cst 0xb7c7d754 constant invariant visited 8> align 64 symtab -1208441944 alias set -1 canonical type 0xb7ca0c30 precision 64 min <integer_cst 0xb7c9f364 0> max <integer_cst 0xb7c9894c -1> modulus <integer_cst 0xb7c9f3d4 constant invariant 0x200000000>> sizes-gimplified visited unsigned type_2 DI size <integer_cst 0xb7c7d738 64> unit size <integer_cst 0xb7c7d754 8> align 64 symtab -1208442048 alias set -1 canonical type 0xb7ca0c98 precision 64 min <integer_cst 0xb7c9f364 0> max <integer_cst 0xb7c9f3f0 0x1ffffffff> RM size <integer_cst 0xb7c9f444 type <integer_type 0xb7c8a068 bit_size_type> constant invariant 33>> (gdb) -- Summary: Ada doesn't follow i386 psABI Product: gcc Version: 4.3.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: ada AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: hjl dot tools at gmail dot com GCC target triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35186
