Bug #: 55036
Summary: Compiler fails with message "internal compiler error:
in reg_save_code, at caller-save.c:158"
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.3
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Assume the movm insn is the first define_insn pattern in the target md file:
When compiling with the built compiler at least with optimization level 2
(-O2), the compiler will always fail during compile when function calls are
involved.
The following error message occurs:
"internal compiler error: in reg_save_code, at caller-save.c:158"
A short web search lead me to this:
http://old.nabble.com/upgrading-gcc-4.4.0-to-gcc-4.7.0%3Aconfigure%3A-error%3A-cannot-compute-suffix-of-object-files%3A-cannot-compile-td34003613.html
Apparently he could fix it by putting any other define_insn (e.g. nop) right
before the mov insns, so the first mov insn does not get the index 0.
That worked for me as well.
I could not find any documentation about not putting a mov insn pattern at the
beginning of the md file. Therefore I assume it's a bug.
