[M3devel] m3_load/m3_store/bit_field_ref lose offset??

I've just spent a few hours debugging this.
 
The problem is strongly related to the declaration that the global segment is of size BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT.
gcc decides they can fit in a register..so then it doesn't bother adding the offset to the address, something like that.
 
When things work, it goes here:
 op0 = adjust_address (op0, mode1, offset);  
in expr.c. When things don't work, that line is skipped and then shortly below that:
 
      if (mode1 != mode) return convert_to_mode (tmode, op0, unsignedp);      return op0;  << 
On systems where BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT fits in a register, e.g. apparently MIPS, counter-e.g. apparently many others, but not clearly all others. This determines whether the mode of the segment is SImode (32bit integer), DImode (64bit integer) or BLKmode (larger than any machine type?). BLKmode works. It works on 32bit MIPS because between mode1 and mode, one of them is SImode, one is DImode. On x86/AMD64/PowerPC systems, I expect it is BLKmode, since biggest alignment is set very large -- 128. I don't know why it works for SPARC.
 
PERHAPS I can put together a C or treelang example and get more (gcc developers) eyes on it, but I doubt it.
 
The following hack works around it:
 
C:\dev2\cm3.2\m3-sys\m3cc\gcc\gcc\m3cg>cvs -z3 diff parse.cIndex: parse.c===================================================================RCS file: /usr/cvs/cm3/m3-sys/m3cc/gcc/gcc/m3cg/parse.c,vretrieving revision 1.77diff -r1.77 parse.c2865c2865<     = m3_build_type (T_struct, BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT, BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT);--->     = m3_build_type (T_struct, BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT * 2, BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT);
 
The repro is very easy.
Just add this to m3core:
 
MODULE Main2 EXPORTS Main;IMPORT RTIO;
VAR a := "a";
BEGIN  RTIO.PutText(a);END Main2.
The load of a will be from MM_Main2 offset 0, instead of 104 or thereabouts.
 
I'll commit this shortly.

I did get things working on that 64-bit platform.   Or is it an endianness issue you are dealing with.  In any case, I will not have a lot of bandwidth for doing much in the way of tackling this unless it becomes critical path for me soon.

Target.Little_endian is used to drive some target-specificity in the IR.   I guess, after all, that is why you have to specify it. The IR for RTLinker.m3 is identical for MIPS64_OPENBSD and SPARC64_SOLARIS, once I set them both to unaligned_procedures, which they both need. (Tangent, I ran m3cgcat on the .ms file a few times instead of the .mc file; that makes it crash.) I can't claim SPARC64_SOLARIS is any paragon of working and correct though, by far.I should also be able to compare with SPARC64_OPENBSD, I forgot about that, and didn't have an m3cg.I only ran SPARC64_SOLARIS far enough to discover it needed unaligned procedures.I think I should fork linux-common and solaris-common off of the minimal 29k openbsd-common, rather than worry about all the stuff in solaris-2-x and linux-libc, over 100k each. Then SPARC64_SOLARIS could/would be in better shape probably. MIPS64_OPENBSD cm3 gets further with unaligned_procedures, along with the parse.c fix -- it gets to a bus error in RunMainBody.Again an alignment problem, though I think maybe memory memory trashing.The fault occurs here:     desc_offset := init_depth * ADRSIZE (InitDesc);      desc := init_stack + desc_offset;      init_depth := desc.low_link; <<   InitDesc = RECORD    module   : RT0.ModulePtr;    low_link : INTEGER;  END;desc_offset appears to not be a multiple of 4. I will look into that. Long story short -- consider again the parse.c change?I admit I still haven't debugged it (or rather, the code that consumes the data produced by it).  - Jay

Aren't the integer values supposed to be written endian-independently in the IR?  I am suspicious about these differences.

Thanks for the tip/direction. Uncertain -- m3cgcat between AMD64_LINUX and MIPS64_OPENBSD are "the same" but for two systematic diffs:  - AMD64_LINUX has a bunch of added calls to check_nil.   This is a "bug" in it, inoptimal but ok code, because "first readable address" is 0. It should probably be 4k. I should write a program that iterates starting at 0 to find the value.  (or better yet, cm3 should have a -configure option that does this? -- for configuration values for which there is a safe default; in general, imho, the targets should be auto configured via C, assuming there is a native development environment available).  - some integers are different (again, systematically)  AMD64_LINUX: init_int  656 13 Int.64 init_chars  664 "    typecode " init_int  680 2 Int.64 init_var  688 v.1 0 init_int  696 13 Int.64 init_chars  704 "    typeid   " init_int  720 2 Int.64 init_var  728 v.1 0 init_int  736 13 Int.64 init_chars  744 "RunMainBody: " init_int  760 2 Int.64 init_var  768 v.1 0 init_int  776 19 Int.64 init_chars  784 "RunMainBody: exec: " init_int  808 2 Int.64 init_var  816 v.1 0 init_int  824 17 Int.64 init_chars  832 "ExpandInitStack: "MIPS64_OPENBSD:  init_chars  664 "    typecode " init_int  680 8796093022208 Int.64 init_var  688 v.1 0 init_int  696 13 Int.64 init_chars  704 "    typeid   " init_int  720 8796093022208 Int.64 init_var  728 v.1 0 init_int  736 13 Int.64 init_chars  744 "RunMainBody: " init_int  760 8796093022208 Int.64 init_var  768 v.1 0 init_int  776 19 Int.64 init_chars  784 "RunMainBody: exec: " init_int  808 8796093022208 Int.64 init_var  816 v.1 0This 8796093022208 is 80000000000 aka 0000_0800_0000_0000, where little endian has 2. I don't know what these numbers represent.I should look at other systems -- preferably a working 64 bit big endian system, if there are any. Could be flags/type with text literals? (Btw, I always leave the TextLiteral.i3 change on my system, lowering the maximum literal length to around 4gig even on 64 bit targets, so 32 bit can bootstrap 64 bit...need to fix the compiler here to do target arithmetic instead of host arithmetic...)

Does it see these values as 32-bit or 64-bit?  The reason I ask is that there may be something wrong in your m3middle target specs that cause bad IR.  Once we know the IR looks right then we can try and fix the problem.
