Subject: pushl computed immediate address on 2.8.1
Date: Fri, 02 Jan 1998 12:41:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19980102144041.15293@dgii.com> (raw)
I was thinking this was a bug in the SCO x86 assembler becuase it worked
under GAS for Linux. However, after some prodding form the egcs folks
that really know PIC, I'm wondering if this is actually a construct that
GAS should produce an error for becuase GCC shouldn't emit it.
The problem is that
pushl $.LC0@GOTOFF(%ebx)
seems to assemble just like
pushl $LC0
so it ends up generating an push of an absolute address once the
linker gets done with it.
Does this sound right at all? Should GAS error on this?
Here's a short "hello, world" in PIC to exercise the issue.
Thanx,
RJL
.file "test.c"
.section .rodata
.LC0:
.string "Hello, World\n"
.text
.align 4
.globl main
.type main,@function
main:
pushl %ebp
movl %esp,%ebp
pushl %ebx
call .L2
.L2:
popl %ebx
addl $_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+[.-.L2],%ebx
// This is the aproach that works, and is what GCC should emit.
// registers
leal .LC0@GOTOFF(%ebx),%eax
pushl %eax
call printf@PLT
// This what GCC does emit, but seems to be nonsensical.
// assembler.
pushl $.LC0@GOTOFF(%ebx)
call printf@PLT
movl -4(%ebp),%ebx
movl %ebp,%esp
popl %ebp
ret
.size main,.-main
