Bug ID: 20312 Summary: [2.24 regression] Assertion failure from an attempt to decrease text section alignment to 0 on unsuccessful assembly Product: binutils Version: 2.27 (HEAD) Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: gas Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: ma...@linux-mips.org CC: amodra at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- This issue affects any targets whose default text section alignment is above 0, typically RISC machines. On unsuccessful assembly, which may be due to any reason, such supplying as a valid source like this: .text .byte 0 .err processing is terminated with an assertion failure like: test.s: Assembler messages: test.s:3: Error: .err encountered ../as-new: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.24.51.20140628 internal error, aborting at .../gas/write.c line 608 in size_seg ../as-new: Please report this bug. This is due to an attempt to decrease text section alignment to 0, requested from `subsegs_finish_section' where `frag_align_code (alignment, 0)' is called with `alignment' set to 0. This has been caused by commit 85024cd8bcb9 ("Run write_object_file after errors") which enabled a call to `subsegs_finish_section' from `subsegs_finish' from `write_object_file' at unsuccessful completion, which previously wasn't made. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
