[Bug c/13557] New: GCC generates code that differs from the SPARC 64-bit System V psABI

[kettenis at gnu dot org]

Consider the following bit of code:

struct sf { float f; };

struct sf xf;

void
foo (struct sf zf)
{
  xf = zf;
}

According to the SPARC 64-bit System V psABI this particular structure should be
passed in the %f0 register.  GCC passes the structure in %f1, which is what one
would expect for the following code:

float xf;

void
foo (float zf)
{
  xf = zf;
}

I discovered the problem while working on GDB.  I can work around the problem
there.  However it means that GCC is incompatible with the Sun compilers on
Solaris, which do pass the structure in %f0.
