gcc-Version 4.4.0 (GCC)



The following snippets crash the running application, I guess due to unaligned
writes, but __alignof__ gives me 16 for all three versions, so I really don't
know.

// 0) anonymous namespace: not happy
#include <xmmintrin.h>
namespace { __m128 a; }
int main () {a = _mm_set1_ps(.0f); }

// 1) external: happy
#include <xmmintrin.h>
__m128 a;
int main () { a = _mm_set1_ps(.0f); }

// 2) internal: not happy
#include <xmmintrin.h>
static __m128 a;
int main () { a = _mm_set1_ps(.0f); }

I guess win32 doesn't know about aligned commons?  Try updating to 4.4.2.

PR target/37216 probably?  If that is so, gcc-4.4.2 won't help because the fix
hasn't been backported to 4.4, at least not yet.

You can also use -fno-common as a workaround.

Unfortunately, this does not work for at least testcase 0),
__attribute__((nocommon)) does not to work either.

I will try out 4.5. asap (I am in relocation mode, i.e. only have access to my
work-pc at the moment, so updating is a bit clumsy here).

Self-reply: If all else fails, use _mm_alloc(size,align).
