--- Comment #4 from rsandifo at gcc dot gnu.org <rsandifo at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Yeah, I'd come up with essentially the same fix locally. Was just trying to see whether it is an ABI problem. And I think it is. For: typedef unsigned long U __attribute__ ((aligned (16))); typedef enum : U { V = 0 } W; U foo (int x0, int x1, int x2, int x3, int x4, int x5, int x6, int x7, U a, W b) { return a + b; } GCC aligns the b stack argument to 16 bytes: ldr x1, [sp] ldr x0, [sp, 16] add x0, x1, x0 ret whereas clang doesn't: ldp x8, x9, [sp] add x0, x9, x8 ret The clang behaviour is correct, so we'll need to fix it on the GCC side. (Neither compiler aligns for register arguments.)
