In gcc/config/avr/libgcc.S, revision 143306, a change to __do_global_ctors & __do_global_dtors was made which makes use of register r20.
This register can be used to pass parameters to the constructors, but it is not pushed/popped from the stack, so it will get clobbered if a constructor uses that register. I have currently worked around it by pushing/popping r20 around the call to __tablejump__, but I am not convinced that this is the correct fix (the constructors should probably push & pop r20 themselves). -- Summary: registers used in __do_global_ctors can get clobbered Product: gcc Version: 4.5.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P3 Component: c AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: gcc at d-silva dot org GCC host triplet: i686-pc-mingw32 GCC target triplet: avr http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45263
