- Subject: [patch] adjust libgloss addresses for 64-bit
Here's another shot at this. The problem that we encounter is that for
64-bit addresses "la" (or dla for that matter) does not sign extend the
constant passed in the case of:
la $2,0x80000000
leaving us with a zero-extended value in a register which is
unpredictable as far as the standard (and at least one chip out there)
is concerned. One option would be to modify the assembler to
automatically sign-extend when in the presence of constants that are
smaller than a single register.
Not a bad idea, but we should also just be precise in what we pass as
well. Since gas will accept sign extended constants from la when we're
using a 64-bit pointers we can probably get by with this patch as well.
The issue of whether or not to automagically sign extend when we load
addresses is a separate one I think really in this case.
Thoughts?
