The second constraint should be using "b" instead of "r" as b says
don't use r0.
generated for gcc-4.2.4 on powerpc:
00000000 <_ZN5Value6updateERS_RK4Dataj>:
0: 38 04 00 04 addi r0,r4,4
4: 7c 80 2c 2c lwbrx r4,0,r5
8: 90 83 00 00 stw r4,0(r3)
c: 4e 80 00 20 blr
the correct version without -funroll-loops reads:
00000000 <_ZN5Value6updateERS_RK4Dataj>:
0: 38 84 00 04 addi r4,r4,4
4: 7c 84 2c 2c lwbrx r4,r4,r5
8: 90 83 00 00 stw r4,0(r3)
c: 4e 80 00 20 blr
lwbrx sums the contents of r4 and r5 and accesses this address,
swaps it's
value and stores it again in r4. The incorrect version accesses an
invalid
address, which leads to a segmentation fault.
this is corrected at least with gcc-4.3.1, there i couldn't
reproduce the
behaviour.
