Hello! This problem is similar to [1], but in this case issue occurs when exception handler immediately follows sibcall function. This happens in libstdc++,
./include/ext/pb_ds/detail/binary_heap_/split_join_fn_imps.hpp: 130 This is the reason for testcase failure in [2]: Running target unix FAIL: ext/pb_ds/regression/priority_queue_rand.cc execution test We have to prevent this situation in the same way as in [1]: pad sibcall function call with a nop, when GP load immediately follows the call. Following patch fixes the failure. 2012-08-09 Uros Bizjak <ubiz...@gmail.com> * config/alpha/alpha.c (alpha_pad_noreturn): Rename to ... (alpha_pad_function_end): ... this. Also insert NOP between sibling call and GP load. (alpha_reorg): Update call to alpha_pad_function_end. Expand comment. Patch was bootstrapped and regression tested on alphaev68-pc-linux-gnu. OK for mainline and release branches? [1] http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-12/msg01097.html [2] http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2012-08/msg00583.html Uros.
