This causes a major headache for me since some libraries assume that
sizeof(any enum)> 1, e.g. the standard XDR library. Is the only
possible way to disable short enums to set the ABI to
ARM_ABI_AAPCS_LINUX? Which side effects does this have?
This question would be better asked on the mailing list
gcc-h...@gcc.gnu.org rather than gcc@gcc.gnu.org. The gcc@ mailing list
is for issues related to the development of gcc itself. Please take any
followups to gcc-help. Thanks.
You can use -fno-short-enums. However, see the note about ABI
compatibility in the -fshort-enums doc.
The problem is that I need a proper GCC ARM configuration for the RTEMS tool
chain. To do this I have to provide the right definitions in
gcc/config/arm/rtems-eabi.h
gcc/config/arm/t-rtems-eabi
and this is clearly not a GCC user problem. The so called ARM ELF
configuration didn't use short enums by default. It seems that Linux faced
this problem before and now we have this exception in the
arm_default_short_enums() function above. I want to preserve the ARM ELF
behavior with respect to enums also in the ARM EABI configuration. The
question is now who to achieve this. One option is to set the ABI to
ARM_ABI_AAPCS_LINUX also for the RTEMS tool chain, but I am not sure that this
is the right thing.
