Bug ID: 77587
Summary: C compiler produces incorrect stack alignment with
__attribute((weak))
Product: gcc
Version: 5.4.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c

Test case for weak attribute stack misalignment
I have run into a case where GCC produces a stack aligned to 8 bytes instead of
the required 16 bytes when using __attribute__((weak)). I originally
mistakenly reported this as a problem with sprintf() here:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20596
This case produces a call to sprintf() with the stack aligned to 8 bytes, but
sprintf() calls the MOVAPS instruction which will crash if the stack is not
aligned to 16 bytes.
The attached test case consists of two files. The compile command is in the
comments at the top of stacktest.c. The crash occurs if __attribute__((weak))
is used in the example, and does not occur without it. Change SPRINTF_CRASH
from 1 to 0 in stacktest.c to eliminate the crash.
My test system is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
