Ouch. That's really ugly. And on 32bit ARM, we end-up spilling half of
the parameters on the stack, which is not going to help performance
either (not that this would be useful on 32bit ARM anyway...).

Any chance you could make this dependent on some compiler detection
mechanism?


With my arm compiler (gcc-4.4.4) the patch makes no difference -
unmap_and_move() isn't being inlined anyway.

How does this look?

Kevin, could you please retest?  I might have fat-fingered something...


Your patch on top of Geert's still compiles fine for me with gcc-4.7.3.
However, I'm not sure how specific we can be on the versions.

/me goes to test a few more compilers...   OK...

ICE: 4.7.1, 4.7.3, 4.8.3
OK: 4.6.3, 4.9.2, 4.9.3

The diff below[2] on top of yours compiles fine here and at least covers
the compilers I *know* to trigger the ICE.


I see ICE on arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.4-2ubuntu1) 4.7.4


Thanks for checking.  I'm assuming my patch fixes it for your since
that should catch any 4.7.x compiler.

Yes, thank you. This fixes it on 4.7.4

Kevin
