When using --enable-target-optspace on gcc 4.5 function __bswapsi2 in libgcc
generates call to itself which causes infinite recursion. Here is disassembly.
$ arm-none-linux-uclibcgnueabi-objdump -d _bswapsi2_s.o
_bswapsi2_s.o: file format elf32-littlearm
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <__bswapsi2>:
0: e92d4008 push {r3, lr}
4: ebfffffe bl 0 <__bswapsi2>
8: e8bd8008 pop {r3, pc}
This does not happen on -O1, O2 or O3 where is computes the swapping
and does not call the libgcc function. With gcc 4.4 it does not call
libgcc function even at -Os. I have only tested it on arm architecture.
Here is little program which demonstrates it
typedef signed int SItype;
SItype
__bswapsi2 (SItype u)
{
return ((((u) & 0xff000000) >> 24)
| (((u) & 0x00ff0000) >> 8)
| (((u) & 0x0000ff00) << 8)
| (((u) & 0x000000ff) << 24));
}
here is how the gcc was built
