...T runner looks for the '_chkstk' symbol by enumerating all of the loaded DLLs. On Win8, NTDLL.DLL (where _chkstk is defined) is found in a location that is more than 32bits bytes away from the jitted code. Marina's patch changes the code that generates a call to '_chkstk' from PCREL32 (which uses a 32bit offset) to an indirect call (which uses a 64bit address from a register). -----Original Message----- From: lost [mailto:lostfreeman at gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2012 01:32 To: Rotem, Nadav; Yatsina, Marina; LLVM Subject: Re: [LLVMdev] Access Violation using Executi...

Hi Rotem, Thank to you, and especially to Marina! The problem gone. I'm a bit interested, what is the reason it worked in Win7, and not in Win8. I've recently used Process Explorer to discover, that the call was to ntdll.dll, which in Win8 is loaded to the totally different address.

I would think that the R_X86_64_PC32 relocation type should never be generated with large code model since large code model, by definition, makes no assumptions about the size or address of sections. The use of win32-elf might throw a wrinkle into this, since that is a code path that probably isn't exercised much outside of MCJIT use. That said, when this assertion fails it is usually
