--- Comment #3 from ro at CeBiTec dot Uni-Bielefeld.DE <ro at CeBiTec dot Uni-Bielefeld.DE> 2011-07-19 13:57:43 UTC --- I see what's happening now: the unaligned access is happending inside librt (sem_wait), with uac p noprint nofix sigbus: Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error. [Switching to Thread 1] 0x000003ff81086c98 in sem_init () from /usr/shlib/librt.so (gdb) Erroneous arithmetic operation. (gdb) where #0 0x000003ff81086c98 in sem_init () from /usr/shlib/librt.so #1 0x000003ffbffefdec in gomp_sem_init (sem=0x3ffbfff02a0, value=536854016) at /vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/local/libgomp/config/posix/sem.h:72 #2 0x000003ffbfff02a0 in gomp_init_task (task=0x14002bf00, parent_task=0x0, prev_icv=0x3ffffff0020) at /vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/local/libgomp/task.c:45 #3 0x000003ffbfff1eb4 in gomp_team_start (fn=0x11fffe300, data=0x11fffe310, nthreads=536863560, team=0x11fffe358) at /vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/local/libgomp/team.c:292 #4 0x000003ffbffef148 in GOMP_parallel_start ( fn=0x120002db4 <sub1._omp_fn.0>, data=0x11fffbfd0, num_threads=1) at /vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/local/libgomp/parallel.c:108 #5 0x0000000120002cfc in sub1 (n=2) at /vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/local/libgomp/testsuite/libgomp.c/appendix-a/a.15.1.c:30 #6 0x0000000120002d68 in main () at /vol/gcc/src/hg/trunk/local/libgomp/testsuite/libgomp.c/appendix-a/a.15.1.c:40 The actual unaligned access is one insn before: (gdb) x/i 0x3ff81086c94 0x3ff81086c94 <sem_init+308>: stl zero,0(s0) (gdb) p/x $s0 $17 = 0x14002bf5e Unaligned access pid=391884 <a.15.1.exe> va=0x14002bf5e pc=0x3ff81086c94 ra=0x3ff81086bf4 inst=0xb3e90000 And indeed *s0 isn't 4-byte aligned, as required by the stl insn. I could trace this as follows: * gomp_sem_t is sem_t (config/posix/sem.h) * sem_t is psx4_key_t (from <semaphore.h>) * psx4_key_t is defined in <psx4_nspace_ts.h>: typedef unsigned short psx4_key_version_t; typedef unsigned short psx4_key_index_t; typedef struct psx4_key { psx4_key_index_t index; /* Index of entry */ psx4_key_version_t version; /* Version number of key */ } psx4_key_t; Looking at the Tru64 UNIX V5.1 sources, I find (in src/usr/ccs/lib/librt/psx4_csem.c (sem_init)): int sem_init(sem_t *sem, int pshared, unsigned int value) [...] *(int *)sem = 0; i.e. the code assumes int (4-byte) alignment, but only gets short (2-byte) alignment instead. An appropriate attribute should fix this. Don't know how best to fit this into libgomp. Rainer
