Compiling the testcase on powerpc-darwin we get an error when assembling: /var/tmp//ccAw6HXh.s:52:Bad Absolute Expression, absolute 0 assumed. /var/tmp//ccAw6HXh.s:52:Repeat < 0, .space ignored
This usually means the .space is a large number (which was turned negative by the asm because it only needs 32bit). .space 18446744073709551587 If we look at the CONSTRUCTOR which the Ada front-end generates: {.band=2, .the_command=0, ._parent={.band=2}, .tc_scc=66} we see that ._parent (which is at position 1) is in the middle which is just wrong. The middle-end of GCC has always have expected the CONSTRUCTOR be in the same order as the fields in the RECORD type. I will attach the semi reduced testcase. I think this also happens on ppc-linux but on ppc-linux we just get a warning from gas. -- Summary: ACATS c391002 failure on powerpc-darwin, wrong .space Product: gcc Version: 4.0.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: wrong-code Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ada AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC target triplet: powerpc-darwin http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19408
