Re: [fpc-devel] FPC Android crashes in Tegra CPUs
Hi, To find out an offending instruction it is needed to create a simple console app. Compile it with the -gl switch and run in the Android console. You will get a stack back trace. If the instruction in the RTL, it is needed to recompile it with the -O- -g switches.

[fpc-devel] FPC Android crashes in Tegra CPUs
I've recently discovered that some fpc math functions crash on Tegra CPUs (ARM7/Android), even when called with valid arguments. Anyone has a clue what could cause this or possible workarounds? Eg: Calling lnxp1(x) with x1 results in a SIGILL crash. I did my own naive implementation of this function in pure pascal without calling any FPC math function, and it fixed the problem. However currently I found another crash in the same hardware that points to fpc_ln_real function, and don't really want to reimplement lots of math functions. Probably any function related to logaritms suffers from this,. Notes - I'm compiling with FPC 2.7.1 (from trunk, but not most recent, I probably compiled it 2 or 3 months ago). Optimizations are off, due to them being currently broken in ARM7.

First trying with current trunk would be helpful. Optimizations are off, due to them being currently broken in ARM7.
