Karine EM <k.even-mendoza at imperial dot ac.uk> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |k.even-mendoza at imperial dot ac. | |uk --- Comment #5 from Karine EM <k.even-mendoza at imperial dot ac.uk> --- With GCC-11 and GCC-10, the compiler does not crash but returns: "confused by earlier errors, bailing out" and ends gracefully. But with GCC-12, I got a similar crash, with a flat array, a bit over 1GB: 1 struct a { 2 char arr[1100000000]; 3 } b[1]; 4 void c(struct a e) { 5 if (__builtin_memcmp(e.arr, b, 6)) 6 __builtin_abort(); 7 } 8 int main() { 9 struct a d; 10 d.arr; 11 c(d); 12 return 0; 13 } However, the compiler does recognize the huge stack and gives: "sorry, unimplemented: passing too large argument on stack", but still crash. If there is already an error printed, what is the problem to terminate the compilation gracefully as GCC-11 and GCC-10 used to do? ========== With GCC-11 and GCC-10 (at least for this case): gcc-10 -O2 2c8efdb591d9739d4434f1c216106706c62bd78f_v2.c 2c8efdb591d9739d4434f1c216106706c62bd78f_v2.c: In function ‘main’: 2c8efdb591d9739d4434f1c216106706c62bd78f_v2.c:11:3: sorry, unimplemented: passing too large argument on stack 11 | c(d); | ^~~~ 2c8efdb591d9739d4434f1c216106706c62bd78f_v2.c:11: confused by earlier errors, bailing out ========== With GCC-12 ((GCC) 12.0.0 20211216 (experimental)), this is the trace: 2c8efdb591d9739d4434f1c216106706c62bd78f.c:11:3: sorry, unimplemented: passing too large argument on stack 11 | c(d); | ^~~~ during RTL pass: expand 2c8efdb591d9739d4434f1c216106706c62bd78f.c:11:3: internal compiler error: in expand_call, at calls.c:3905 0x6cced7 expand_call(tree_node*, rtx_def*, int) .././../gcc-source/gcc/calls.c:3905 0xb43a3f expand_expr_real_1(tree_node*, rtx_def*, machine_mode, expand_modifier, rtx_def**, bool) .././../gcc-source/gcc/expr.c:11536 0xa14b41 expand_expr .././../gcc-source/gcc/expr.h:301 0xa14b41 expand_call_stmt .././../gcc-source/gcc/cfgexpand.c:2831 0xa14b41 expand_gimple_stmt_1 .././../gcc-source/gcc/cfgexpand.c:3864 0xa14b41 expand_gimple_stmt .././../gcc-source/gcc/cfgexpand.c:4028 0xa1a67e expand_gimple_basic_block .././../gcc-source/gcc/cfgexpand.c:6069 0xa1c527 execute .././../gcc-source/gcc/cfgexpand.c:6795 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.
