--- Comment #15 from Nick Clifton <nickc at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Created attachment 31802 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=31802&action=edit Fix gcc's emission of assembler directives for a variable length structure Hi Guys, I think that the problem is the output_constant function in varasm.c which is given a target size, but which can emit more bytes than expected if the expression is a variable length structure. This patch updates output_constant so that it returns the number of bytes that it really did emit, and it updates a couple of places where output_constant is used so that this corrected size is taken into account. Tested without regressions on an i686-pc-linux-gnu toolchain and an aarch64-elf toolchain. Does anyone have any objections to my submitting the patch to gcc-patches ? Cheers Nick
