--- Comment #4 from Martin Liska <mliska at suse dot cz> --- (In reply to H.J. Lu from comment #1) > The limit of multibyte nop for code alignment is > > #define MAX_MEM_FOR_RS_ALIGN_CODE 31 Thanks, I can confirm that: 00000000004004c0 <foo>: 4004c0: eb fe jmp 4004c0 <foo> 4004c2: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 4004c9: 00 00 00 4004cc: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 4004d3: 00 00 00 4004d6: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 4004dd: 00 00 00 00000000004004e0 <foo2>: 4004e0: f3 c3 repz retq 4004e2: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 4004e9: 00 00 00 4004ec: 0f 1f 40 00 nopl 0x0(%rax) So the logical question is why is it limited? Does it have any disadvantages to emit also big paddings in between symbols? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
