Subject: RE: [RFC: Patch, PR 60158] gcc/varasm.c : Pass actual alignment value to output_constant_pool_2

Hi,

I would like to resubmit these patches for comments. The previous detailed discussion is available in the below mentioned link.
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-04/msg01679.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-05/msg00489.html

The issue is still reproducible on GCC v4.8 branch.

I have tested both the attached patches with e500v2 tool chain on GCC v4.8 branch [rev 221667] and GCC trunk [rev 221310] with no regressions.

Patch1 [gcc.fix_pr60158_fixup_table_fsf_1]: Pass actual alignment value to output_constant_pool_2.
Patch2 [gcc.fix_pr60158_fixup_table_fsf_2]: Use the alignment data available in the first argument (constant_descriptor_rtx) of output_constant_pool_1.
        (Note: this generates ".align" directive twice).

Please let me know your comments.

Regards,
Rohit

I have changed the subject line accordingly.
