Bug ID: 67169 Summary: -fstack-check=no doesn't disable stack checking Product: gcc Version: 5.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: dwmw2 at infradead dot org Target Milestone: --- $ echo 'void foo(void) { char lots[8192]; }' | i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -S -o- -xc - -fstack-check=no .file "" .text .globl _foo .def _foo; .scl 2; .type 32; .endef _foo: pushl %ebp movl %esp, %ebp movl $8192, %eax call ___chkstk_ms subl %eax, %esp nop leave ret .ident "GCC: (GNU) 5.1.0 20150422 (Fedora MinGW 5.1.0-2.fc22)" This is causing me problems when building the EDK II UEFI implementation. Building that with MinGW is useful because it reproduces a number of LLP64-related issues which would otherwise require Windows to discover. If I use '-fstack-check=specific' *that* does seem to do what I want. But I'm not sure I should be suggesting that as an upstream fix for the MinGW build, because it seems wrong.
