Maciej W. Rozycki <ma...@linux-mips.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |ma...@linux-mips.org --- Comment #13 from Maciej W. Rozycki <ma...@linux-mips.org> --- This breaks Power SPE targets, at least the Linux OS, almost surely EABI too. Seen in 4.8 powerpc-linux-gnu g++ and libstdc++ testing as some 700 regressions e.g. with these compiler options: -mcpu=8540 -mfloat-gprs=single -mspe=yes -mabi=spe The cause is a DWARF2 unwinder abort triggered by: gcc_assert (size == sizeof(_Unwind_Word)); in _Unwind_SetSpColumn and the cause is with this change applied `size' is 8 whereas `sizeof(_Unwind_Word)' is 4. Previously `size' was 4. For 4.8 please revert unless a better fix can be made within the available time frame. Let me know if I can assist with testing.
