Bug 51835

Summary: ARM EABI violation when passing arguments to helper floating functions like __aeabi_d2iz
Product: gcc Reporter: bin.cheng <amker.cheng>
Component: targetAssignee: Not yet assigned to anyone <unassigned>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED    
Severity: normal CC: mikpelinux, ramana
Priority: P3 Keywords: ABI, wrong-code
Version: 4.7.0   
Target Milestone: 4.5.4   
Host: Target: arm-none-eabi
Build: Known to work:

Description bin.cheng 2012-01-12 08:00:57 UTC
For following program
int func(float f)
{
  double d = (double)f;
  return (int)d;
}
compile it with following command:
$ arm-none-eabi-gcc -O2 -mthumb -mcpu=cortex-m4 -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16 -S test.c -o test.S

the generated assembly code is:
-----------------------------------------------
fun:
	@ args = 0, pretend = 0, frame = 0
	@ frame_needed = 0, uses_anonymous_args = 0
	push	{r3, lr}
	fmrs	r0, s0
	bl	__aeabi_f2d
	fmdrr	d0, r0, r1
	bl	__aeabi_d2iz
	pop	{r3, pc}
	.size	fun, .-fun

The argument of __aeabi_d2iz is passed in fp register, While ARM RTABI document says that such functions should use the soft-float ABI, even when -mfloat-abi=hard is specified.

The problem at least exists on trunk and 4.6 branch.

I am working a patch and will send it for review later.
Comment 1 Richard Earnshaw 2012-01-16 09:37:33 UTC
Confirmed
Comment 2 Ramana Radhakrishnan 2012-01-19 22:40:51 UTC
This is only applicable to the 4.6 branch and trunk since support for the Cortex M4 wasn't added till 4.6. 

cheers

Maybe the Cortex M4 wasn't added until 4.6, but the other options are permitted by 4.5 and I can easily get 4.5 to produce wrong-looking code.  With -O2 -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16 -march=armv7-a -marm I see the following code generation difference between 4.5 and 4.6:

Backporting r183734 from 4.6 to 4.5 makes 4.5 generate the same code as 4.6, i.e., with the fmrrd between the two calls.

beside this patch, Julian Brown's patch r174803 is necessary too.

For now,
1, arguments for both __aeabi_f2d and __aeabi_d2iz are wrong in 4.5;
2, arguments for __aeabi_f2d is wrong in 4.6
To solve this, have to:
1, backport r183734 and r174803 to 4.5;
2, backport r174803 to 4.6;

Fixed I think now on all release branches where affected and trunk.
