GCC-4.3.0 fails to compile SPECint-2006 with control speculation on itanium processor

GCC-4.3.0 fails to compile SPECint-2006 with control speculation on itanium processor

[吴曦]

Hi:

I am working on gcc-4.3.0 and Redhat ES 4. When I uses the compiler to
build specint-2006 benchmarks,
none passes the make with compiler option: -msched-control-spec
(enable control speculation on IA-64)

Here is part of the error log:

# Error 400.perlbench: Error with make!                                      #

So any help ? Thanks

I turn on the verbose mode of spec, it really fails to compile the code.

Something like internal compiler error, etc.

It seems that this support is rather inmature

Control speculation is disabled by default on IA-64, so I think one of 
the scheduler patches accidentally broke it.  This can be Maxim's 
rewrite of dependence lists.  We will take a look.  Meanwhile you can 
try 4.2 series, they should work.
