Interesting, but why in this case stuff like 'force_align_arg_pointer' required? -- With best regards, Anton Korobeynikov. Faculty of Mathematics & Mechanics, Saint Petersburg State University.

Chuck, > It is dying trying to store a our working vector into one of the LLVM > vectors created on the stack. Despite the align-16 directive on the > alloca instruction, it is not always aligning to a 16-byte boundary. The stack is not necessary 16 bytes aligned on linux/windows. The vector is really sotred aligned relative to %esp, but %esp value is not good. This is known problem

Why? I don't see how this might be incompatible with what MS linker does; in any case the end

...is unaligned. Since GCC maintains 16-byte alignment relative to the > starting SP, either ALL stack loads are aligned or they are all unaligned. FFMpeg had problems with SSE missaligned stack variables under Windows too. Now, with gcc 4.2 available on Windows they solved it with __attribute__((force_align_arg_pointer)) set for publicly visible functions. You may find their patch and short description in this mail: http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2007-August/034010.html Speex may follow similar way to solve this problem. -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

.... In addition, it would allow clients to use the existing LLVM optimization and analysis passes on machine code, without the need to implement special tools to operate directly on MCInst objects. Experience: I have been working with LLVM for over two and a half years. I implemented support for the force_align_arg_pointer attribute, as well as the beginnings of Win64 exception-handling support. In GSoC 2010, I added support for multiple C++ ABIs, and the beginnings of support for the Microsoft Visual C++ ABI. In addition, I have also contributed to the Wine project--some of which was making it easier to compile wi...
