[m-users.] ARM Linux toolchain

[Vladimir Komendantskiy]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile Mercury git HEAD as a cross-compiler for an ARM Linux
target (GCC 5.3.1). To configure, I reuse the cross-compile script
tools/configure_mingw_cross with the right host and gcc name. I get
compile-time errors quite soon:

../scripts/mgnuc --grade asm_fast.gc     --c-debug --no-ansi   --        -c
mercury_deep_copy.c -o mercury_deep_copy.o
In file included from mercury_deep_copy.c:59:0:
mercury_deep_copy_body.h: In function ‘MR_deep_copy’:
mercury_deep_copy_body.h:848:1: error: unable to find a register to spill
mercury_deep_copy_body.h:848:1: error: this is the insn:

                (reg:SI 296 [ D.10539 ])) [0 *_199+0 S4 A32]))

            (expr_list:REG_EQUIV (mem:SI (reg/f:SI 13 sp) [0  S4 A32])
                (nil)))))

An older post [1] suggests adding -O1 to CFLAGS. In fact yes, adding
"CFLAGS += -O1" in Mmake.common solves this one.

However another error follows:

mercury_layout_util.c: In function ‘MR_get_type_and_value’:
mercury_layout_util.c:946:1: error: unable to find a register to spill
mercury_layout_util.c:946:1: error: this is the insn:
(insn 13 34 36 2 (set (reg:SI 126)
        (mem/f/c:SI (plus:SI (reg/f:SI 103 afp)
                (const_int 40 [0x28])) [0 value+0 S4 A32]))
mercury_layout_util.c:943 615 {*thumb2_movsi_vfp}
     (nil))

Is there a better solution then the -O1 workaround? Possibly I should
disable asm_fast* grades?
