Aldy Hernandez <aldyh at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |rsandifo at gcc dot gnu.org --- Comment #5 from Aldy Hernandez <aldyh at gcc dot gnu.org> 2013-01-09 18:45:34 UTC --- I'm out of my depth here, but perhaps someone can give me a hint on how to debug this further. As alluded to earlier, this ICE only happens with sched-pressure scheduling. The actual ICE happens in find_reloads_address_part(), where we have are analyzing X=: (const:DI (plus:DI (symbol_ref:DI ("glob_b")) (const_int 3 [0x3]))) prefer_reload_class() returns NO_REGS, because legitimate_reload_constant_p() returns false for the X above. So when we call force_const_mem() in find_reloads_address_part... if (CONSTANT_P (x) && (!targetm.legitimate_constant_p (mode, x) || targetm.preferred_reload_class (x, rclass) == NO_REGS)) { x = force_const_mem (mode, x); <-- HERE force_const_mem() returns NULL because s390_cannot_force_const_mem() returns true for the SYMBOL_REF in -fPIC mode. Bottom line-- force_const_mem() returns NULL for a (const (plus SYMBOL_REF CONST)) with -fPIC, and then we dereference this NULL. Is the RTL correct? Any hints?
