[PATCH v3 1/2] Temporary remove "at least 8 byte alignment" code from x86

Denys Vlasenko dvlasenk@redhat.com
Tue Aug 30 16:34:00 GMT 2016


This change drops forced alignment to 8 if requested alignment is higher
than 8: before the patch, -falign-functions=9 was generating

        .p2align 4,,8
        .p2align 3

which means: "align to 16 if the skip is 8 bytes or less; else align to 8".
After this change, ".p2align 3" is not emitted.

This behavior will be implemented differently by the next patch.

2016-08-30  Denys Vlasenko  <dvlasenk@redhat.com>

    * config/i386/freebsd.h (ASM_OUTPUT_MAX_SKIP_ALIGN): Remove "If N
    is large, do at least 8 byte alignment" code.
    * config/i386/gnu-user.h (ASM_OUTPUT_MAX_SKIP_ALIGN): Likewise.
    * config/i386/iamcu.h (ASM_OUTPUT_MAX_SKIP_ALIGN): Likewise.
    * config/i386/openbsdelf.h (ASM_OUTPUT_MAX_SKIP_ALIGN): Likewise.
    * config/i386/x86-64.h (ASM_OUTPUT_MAX_SKIP_ALIGN): Likewise.
