Bug ID: 101438 Summary: Compiler hang on inline asm with local register and VLA operands Product: gcc Version: 11.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: inline-asm Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: andrey.vihrov at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Compiling this C source: int main(void) { register long long rax __asm__("rax") = 0; register long long rbx __asm__("rbx") = 0; register long long rcx __asm__("rcx") = 0; register long long rdx __asm__("rdx") = 0; register long long rsi __asm__("rsi") = 0; register long long rdi __asm__("rdi") = 0; register long long r8 __asm__("r8") = 0; register long long r9 __asm__("r9") = 0; register long long r10 __asm__("r10") = 0; register long long r11 __asm__("r11") = 0; register long long r12 __asm__("r12") = 0; register long long r13 __asm__("r13") = 0; register long long r14 __asm__("r14") = 0; register long long r15 __asm__("r15") = 0; volatile int x = 1; char arr[x]; __asm__ ("" : : "r"(rax), "r"(rbx), "r"(rcx), "r"(rdx), "r"(rsi), "r"(rdi), "r"(r8), "r"(r9), "r"(r10), "r"(r11), "r"(r12), "r"(r13), "r"(r14), "r"(r15), "m"(arr) ); } with "gcc -O1 test.c" causes the compiler to hang in an infinite loop. Note: This code could possibly be formally incorrect, as [1] warns about potential clobbering after initialization of local register variables.
