Hello, I've build a crosscompiler for alpha-linuxelf, hosted on i486-pc-linux. I understand that running a compiler for a 64bit target on a 32bit host may (will?) give suboptimal optimization. But now I've encountered a problem, I think it's a bug(tm): This file /*--------*/ char *labels[] = { "beef", "babe", "cafe", "zap!" }; /*--------*/ compiles to the following, when compiled on the alpha: (with an older egcs version, parameters: gcc -O2 -S stralign.c -o stralign.s) --------- .file 1 "stralign.c" .version "01.01" .set noat gcc2_compiled.: __gnu_compiled_c: .globl labels .data .align 3 .type labels,@object labels: .quad $LC0 .quad $LC1 .quad $LC2 .quad $LC3 .section .rodata .align 3 $LC3: .ascii "zap!\0" .align 3 $LC2: .ascii "cafe\0" .align 3 $LC1: .ascii "babe\0" .align 3 $LC0: .ascii "beef\0" .size labels,32 .ident "GCC: (GNU) egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)" --------- Please note the "align 3" btw. the strings. Now, compiled on the intel host for target alpha: --------- .file 1 "stralign.c" .set noat .set noreorder .globl labels .data .align 3 .type labels,@object labels: .quad $LC0 .quad $LC1 .quad $LC2 .quad $LC3 .section .rodata $LC3: .ascii "zap!\0" $LC2: .ascii "cafe\0" $LC1: .ascii "babe\0" $LC0: .ascii "beef\0" .size labels,32 .ident "GCC: (GNU) egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release)" --------- So there is no alignment at all! Am I to expect such behaviour, or went something wrong when I configured/built the crosscompiler? thanks for your help chris _______________________________________________ New CrossGCC FAQ: http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC _______________________________________________ To remove yourself from the crossgcc list, send mail to crossgcc-request@cygnus.com with the text 'unsubscribe' (without the quotes) in the body of the message.
