The latter. gcc is putting the empty asm:
|
|
|
|
__asm__ ("":"=r" (__gu_val));
|
|
|
|
into the delay slot of the call.
|
|
|
|
Part of the problem is that gcc estimates the length of an asm to be the
|
|
number of instruction separators + 1. This means that it estimates the
|
|
asm above to be one instruction long, which is perhaps a little silly
|
|
for an empty string.
|
|
|
|
But the real problem is that gcc should never trust this estimate anyway,
|
|
since each "instruction" could obviously be a multi-instruction macro.
|
|
gcc should certainly never put asms into delay slots.
|
|
|
|
FWIW, I don't think the bug is specific to 3.3 or 3.4. It could
|
|
probably trigger for other gcc versions too. It is highly dependent
|
|
on scheduling though.
|
|
|
|
The attached 3.4.x patch fixes the problem there, but if you want to work
|
|
around it for old versions, just avoid using empty asms if you can,
|
|
or make them volatile if you can't.
|
|
|
|
Of course, the problem isn't confined to empty asms. If you have an asm
|
|
with a single, multi-instruction macro, gcc might try putting that in a
|
|
delay slot too. You should at least get an assembler warning in that case.
