------- Comment #7 from maurice35 dot david at laposte dot net 2009-10-21 09:37 -------
It seems that I have a similar issue with ccmips compilator :
typedef struct
{
char A;
char B;
char C;
/*char padding;*/
} tStructABC;
typedef struct
{
tStructABC ABC1;
tStructABC ABC2;
} tStruct2ABC;
tStruct2ABC Struct2ABC;
int Compute(tStructABC ArgA,tStructABC ArgB)
{
return(ArgA.A+ArgA.B);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
tStructABC * pABC1;
tStructABC * pABC2;
pABC1 = &(Struct2ABC.ABC1);
pABC2 = &(Struct2ABC.ABC2);
printf("Compute=%d\n",Compute(*pABC1,*pABC2));
}
This code crash with the printout:
Address load Exception
Exception Program Counter: 0x803f56f8
Status Register: 0x3000ff01
Cause Register: 0x00000010
Access Address : 0x80b8da83
Task: 0x80ffa440 "PGL_Main"
0x80ffa440 (PGL_Main): task 0x80ffa440 has had a failure and has been stopped.
0x80ffa440 (PGL_Main): fatal kernel task-level exception!
So The crash is due to an alignment issue on the address &(Struct2ABC.ABC2);.
To avoid this issue we need to add a padding byte in tStructABC because it
seems that there is no way to force a padding through a compilation option or
through a #pragma (as example #pragma pack(4)).
Please could you confirm this issue in compilation sw (ccmips) or not.

I can reproduce the misalignment exceptions on armv5tel-linux-gnueabi with
gcc-4.3.4 at -O0 but not with gcc-4.4.2. The loop in main() which iterates
over the packed array creates a misaligned pointer from which it performs
word-sized loads, which causes misalignment exceptions. gcc-4.4.2 generates
very different code which doesn't make assumptions about alignment.

That's an old vendor-modified compiler based on an ancient and no longer
supported gcc version. Please direct your questions about that compiler to the
vendor, Wind River.
If you can reproduce your MIPS alignment problem using gcc-4.3 or newer, then
that's something you should report here in a new bugzilla entry (so as to not
confuse this ARM problem with a possibly unrelated MIPS problem).

The ARM misalignment bug in this PR was fixed for gcc-4.4 by r141742, an
apparently ia64- and Ada-motivated generic patch.
