Dear GCC-Developers, if i compile a simple program like the following using the generated cc1 compiler, everything seems to be ok and assembler code is generated. int main(void) { int i; return 0; } the debugoption -dr produces the following rtl-code: ;; Function main (note 2 0 3 "" NOTE_INSN_DELETED) (note 3 2 4 "" NOTE_INSN_FUNCTION_BEG) (note 4 3 5 "" NOTE_INSN_DELETED) (call_insn 5 4 7 (call (mem:HI (symbol_ref:HI ("__main")) 0) (const_int 0 [0x0])) -1 (nil) (nil) (nil)) (note 7 5 10 0 NOTE_INSN_BLOCK_BEG) (insn 10 7 11 (set (reg/i:HI 2 R2) (const_int 0 [0x0])) -1 (nil) (nil)) (insn 11 10 12 (use (reg/i:HI 2 R2)) -1 (nil) (nil)) (jump_insn 12 11 13 (set (pc) (label_ref 18)) -1 (nil) (nil)) (barrier 13 12 15) (note 15 13 16 0 NOTE_INSN_BLOCK_END) (note 16 15 18 "" NOTE_INSN_FUNCTION_END) (code_label 18 16 0 2 "" [num uses: 0]) If I add a value like int main(void) { int i; i=0; return 0; } the compiler calls abort(). test1.c: In function `main': test1.c:6: Internal compiler error in `instantiate_virtual_regs_1', at function.c:4027 -dr produces the rtl-code: ;; Function main (note 2 0 3 "" NOTE_INSN_DELETED) (note 3 2 4 "" NOTE_INSN_FUNCTION_BEG) (note 4 3 5 "" NOTE_INSN_DELETED) (call_insn 5 4 7 (call (mem:HI (symbol_ref:HI ("__main")) 0) (const_int 0 [0x0])) -1 (nil) (nil) (nil)) (note 7 5 10 0 NOTE_INSN_BLOCK_BEG) (insn 10 7 13 (set (mem/f:HI (reg:HI 38) 0) (const_int 0 [0x0])) -1 (nil) (nil)) (insn 13 10 14 (set (reg/i:HI 2 R2) (const_int 0 [0x0])) -1 (nil) (nil)) (insn 14 13 15 (use (reg/i:HI 2 R2)) -1 (nil) (nil)) (jump_insn 15 14 16 (set (pc) (label_ref 21)) -1 (nil) (nil)) (barrier 16 15 18) (note 18 16 19 0 NOTE_INSN_BLOCK_END) (note 19 18 21 "" NOTE_INSN_FUNCTION_END) (code_label 21 19 0 2 "" [num uses: 0]) the only difference is that memory must be allocated to store the value, so that must be the reason why the compiler aborts. I don´t have an idea why this happens. Is this a problem in addressing? Is there something wrong with the mov-insns or would a gen*-program tell me about a problem? How can I find out about that problem and fix it? Thanks, Thomas -- \|/ ______ \|/ "@'/ ,. \'@" /__| \__/ |__\ \__U_/
