Oops....
Sorry, tonight this patch caused an Ada regression, in pack17.adb and
misaligned_nest.adb
So I'll have to put that on hold at the moment.
This ICE is very similar to PR59134.
It is again the recursion between store_fixed_bit_field and
store_split_bit_field.
The trigger is a latent problem in the ada gcc_interface.
That is we have a bit-field of exactly 8 bit size, which is not byte-aligned,
but DECL_MODE=QImode, DECL_BIT_FIELD=false which looks quite strange,
and is totally different from how C structures look like. I should mention that
there
are even some places in the target back-ends, where the attribute
DECL_BIT_FIELD is
used for whatever.
Now, due to this hunk in the cleanup-patch we get the QImode selected in the
memory
context:
if (MEM_P (to_rtx))
{
- if (volatilep && flag_strict_volatile_bitfields> 0)
+ if (mode1 != VOIDmode)
to_rtx = adjust_address (to_rtx, mode1, 0);
However even without that patch, I can arrange for "volatilep &&
flag_strict_volatile_bitfields> 0"
to be true in Ada (even on X86_64, or whatever platform you like):
-- { dg-do run }
-- { dg-options "-gnatp -fstrict-volatile-bitfields" }
procedure Misaligned_Volatile is
type Byte is mod 2**8;
type Block is record
B : Boolean;
V : Byte;
end record;
pragma Volatile (Block);
pragma Pack (Block);
for Block'Alignment use 1;
type Pair is array (1 .. 2) of Block;
P : Pair;
begin
for K in P'Range loop
P(K).V := 237;
end loop;
for K in P'Range loop
if P(K).V /= 237 then
raise Program_error;
end if;
end loop;
end;
This Ada test case causes either wrong code generation or an ICE at compile
time,
if the -fstrict-volatile-bitfields option is either given by the user,
or by the target-specific default as it is on ARM for instance (which is
completely
pointless on Ada, I know!)...
Now I am preparing a new bitfields-update-patch which fixes this above test
case and the
latent recursion problem.
Thanks ... for you patience :-(
Bernd.
