[Bug target/49211] MMIX: Code generation broken, when using global variables


http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49211

Thanks for your reply!

Perhaps I miss something, but I've no idea how that should work. Regardless of
whether $254 is initialized previously or not (in my case, it's a bootloader,
so there is no stdlib and no crt*, but I have to do that myself), using the
stack-pointer to access global variables can't work, right? Lets suppose, that
the offset in main is correct. That would mean, that x is located at $254 + 8.
But $254 is changed (of course) at the beginning and end of a function (and
nowhere else). If func2 accesses x as well, gcc generates code to access it at
$254 + 8. So, it expects it to be always at offset 8 from $254, but of course
that can't work, because $254 changes.
