Below is a minimal piece of code which triggers the bug. All versions of gcc seem to be affected, as seen on compiler explorer, https://godbolt.org/z/jFMj8b, which also shows a difference in gimple, the templated version is missing the explicit naming attributes. Is this the same bug? If so, is there some technical reason why a clear miscompilation persists for as long as it seems to? What I mean is this, if a bug like this persists for this long, it could be taken to mean that the bug is too big for a casual volunteer. Would that be the case? Can someone familiar with the code base tell me what I'd need to know to fix this, e.g. what's wrong with the patch, is it better to fix the patch or start from scratch. $ cat bug.cpp #define DEMONSTRABLY_IDENTICAL \ long ret; \ register long r10 __asm__("r10") = (long)a4; \ __asm__ __volatile__ ("syscall" \ : "=a"(ret) \ : "a"(n), "D"(a1), "S"(a2), "d"(a3), "r"(r10) \ : "rcx", "r11", "memory" \ ); enum class sysnr : long { // accept4 has enough parameters to require extra registers and trigger the bug accept4 = 0x120 }; static __inline long sys_01(long n, long a1, long a2, long a3, long a4) { DEMONSTRABLY_IDENTICAL return ret; } template <sysnr SYS_NR, typename RET, typename T1, typename T2, typename T3, typename T4> RET sys_02(T1 a1, T2 a2, T3 a3, T4 a4) { constexpr long n = (long) SYS_NR; DEMONSTRABLY_IDENTICAL return (RET)ret; } void test_01 () { sys_01( (long)sysnr::accept4, 0xfeed01, 0xfeed02, 0xfeed03, 0xfeed04 ); } void test_02() { sys_02<sysnr::accept4, long>( 0xfeed01, 0xfeed02, 0xfeed03, 0xfeed04 ); } void test_03() { sys_02<sysnr::accept4, long, long, long, long, long>( 0xfeed01, 0xfeed02, 0xfeed03, 0xfeed04 ); } $ g++ -std=c++11 -O1 bug.cpp -c -o bug.c $ objdump -Cd bug.o bug.o: file format elf64-x86-64 Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 <test_01()>: 0: 41 ba 04 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed04,%r10d 6: b8 20 01 00 00 mov $0x120,%eax b: bf 01 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed01,%edi 10: be 02 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed02,%esi 15: ba 03 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed03,%edx 1a: 0f 05 syscall 1c: c3 retq 000000000000001d <test_02()>: 1d: b8 20 01 00 00 mov $0x120,%eax 22: bf 01 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed01,%edi 27: be 02 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed02,%esi 2c: ba 03 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed03,%edx 31: 41 b8 04 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed04,%r8d 37: 0f 05 syscall 39: c3 retq 000000000000003a <test_03()>: 3a: b8 20 01 00 00 mov $0x120,%eax 3f: bf 01 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed01,%edi 44: be 02 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed02,%esi 49: ba 03 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed03,%edx 4e: 41 b8 04 ed fe 00 mov $0xfeed04,%r8d 54: 0f 05 syscall 56: c3 retq
