In running applications on e500, we got "illegal instruction" error, finally, we found it's caused by asm code below:
gcc-4.3.2/boehm-gc/include/private/gc_locks.h __asm__ __volatile__("lwsync": : : "memory"); lwsync is not supported by e500, even though powerpc claims that. There are similar issues before since __NO_LWSYNC__ has been introduced. it should be modified to use msync or sync in this case. + #ifdef __NO_LWSYNC__ + __asm__ __volatile__("msync": : : "memory"); + #else __asm__ __volatile__("lwsync": : : "memory"); + #endif -- Summary: illegal instruction "lwsync" reported on e500 Product: gcc Version: 4.3.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: boehm-gc AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: harry dot he at freescale dot com GCC build triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu GCC host triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu GCC target triplet: powerpc-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41208
