It is impossible to write "a function that does not clobber register X" without writing pure assembly, because the compiler is free to use any non-call-saved register for any purpose it likes. Even a simple for loop that performs copying might get optimized to use vector registers. Moreover, I believe this bug is related to existing bug reports (I'm not sure of their status) for the non-ifunc resolver. If I'm not mistaken, right now, it's tiptoeing around the vector registers by avoiding calling certain string functions. This is of course wrong because it's making assumptions about the compiler's choice of register usage in code generation. Both issues would be fixed, and the code would cease to be senselessly fragile, if the asm entry point for the resolver simply saved and restored all call-clobbered registers like it should. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
