Cameron, Aligning the stack to 32 bytes when there are auto AVX vector variables present shouldn't necessarily break the x86-64 ABI, as long as smaller auto variables remain properly aligned. A similar approach was taken for i386 in GCC in order to support SSE vectors. Perhaps you could elaborate where the ABI was violated when your patch is applied. HTH -- Evandro Menezes

Hi Elena, You're correct. LLVM does not align the stack to 32-bytes for AVX and unaligned moves should be used for YMM spills. I wrote some code to align the stack to 32-bytes when AVX spills are present; it does break the x86-64 ABI though. If upstream would be interested in this code, I can arrange with my employer to send a patch to the mailing list. -Cameron On Mar 1, 2012, at 4:09 PM,

...ding in between the two. I'll ask for my company's permission to share my implementation. Until then, I'll have to bite my tongue. -Cameron -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
