Subject: alpha haifa regression
Date: Sun, 28 Sep 1997 22:41:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199709290539.WAA12011@dot.cygnus.com> (raw)
With the haifa scheduler, alpha fails 920908-1 with -O2.
What happens is, the insn that loads from the va_list gets moved
before the stores from the register variables. It does this
because alias decides that a variable struct memory cannot alias
a non-variable non-struct memory.
It seems a bit hoaky to me, but then the C alias rules are a bit
perverse, so I'll assume this is correct.
The solution then, since we don't want to slow down normal code
where we _can_ make these assumptions, is to emit blockage after
dumping the varargs regs to memory.
