llvm dev - Oct 2010 - [LLVMdev] PowerPC : Assertion `MovePCtoLROffset & & " MovePCtoLR not seen yet?" ' failed.

Hi all,

I'm compiling current SVN HEAD on Linux/x86. The tests are failing
on PowerPC due to the following assertion failure :

    JITTests: PPCCodeEmitter.cpp:152: unsigned
int<unnamed>::PPCCodeEmitter::
    getMachineOpValue(const llvm::MachineInstr&, const
llvm::MachineOperand&)
    const: Assertion `MovePCtoLROffset && "MovePCtoLR not seen
yet?"' failed.

Is anyone working on the PowerPC backend?

I'm seeing these same errors on powerpc-yellowdog-linux-gnu.
Causes failures on some LLVM :: ExecutionEngine and LLVM-Unit ::
ExecutionEngine/JIT/Release+Asserts/JITTests tests.

I'm not working on it, but I might be able to help find the problem.  What
this means is that you're generating code in PIC mode, and an object that
requires a PIC register to reference is being addressed, and no PIC register was
allocated.   The allocation was supposed to happen in PPCDAGtoDAGISel::Select
when the reference was processed, and a MovePCtoLR instruction inserted at that
time.  Somebody can probably figure it out by stepping through that.

I added build, host, target = ppc-unknown-linux-gnu and enabled libffi. One of
hese gets rid of the assert errors. I'm guessing the B,H,T addition.
Configure
script guessed ppc64.

Confirmed. Configuring with:

    ./configure --host=ppc-unknown-linux-gnu --build=ppc-unknown-linux-gnu \
              --target=ppc-unknown-linux-gnu

passed all tests.

I suspect that this is because you and I are both running 32 bit user space
on a 64 bit kernel. I'm running Debian Testing.
