Subject: dwarf-1 egcs outputs bad .s / GAS allows it.
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 19:32:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19990326213126.A3658@rjlhome.sco.com> (raw)

Two groups copied.  Decouple the respective alias from any conversation
that doesn't impact that group.  I'm not sure, but I think there are two
bugs.  The first bug is that EGCS emits this.  The second is that GAS
accepts it. :-)

EGCS off the trunk from this morning.   GAS is 990223.  Both configured
for Unixware 7 (i686-pc-sysv5).  I have no real reason to believe this
is target-specific other that dwarf-1 on x86 isn't a road well travelled.

I just analyzed the testsuite failure on bf-pack-1.c.  It takes all of 
'-O3 -fPIC -g' to trigger this bug on this case.

HERE->  .2byte  0xfffffff0
        .2byte  0x23    / AT_location
        .2byte  .L_l9_e-.L_l9
.L_l9:
        .byte   0x4     / OP_CONST
        .4byte  0x0


This is coming from the end bit_offset_attribute() in dwarfout.c.  It
calls ASM_OUTPUT_DWARF_DATA2 but bit_offset is negative. ( I don't know
why it's negative but when you subtract 0x30 from 0x20 you do indeed get
a -0x10.)


Should bit_offset be masked to fit in 16 bits?   Should it be .4byte?
Should this be an impossible combination anyway?  Why does GAS allow this?
