ilog2() problems with gcc-3.4.5

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My sparc64 gcc-3.4.5 cross-compiler has decided to start emitting calls
to ____ilog2_NaN, due to

        eq_context->log_eq_size   = ilog2(eq->nent);

in drivers/net/mlx4/eq.c.  There's another reference coming out of
drivers/net/mlx4/srq.s.

I guess this is a gcc bug - it's gone and decided that
__builtin_constant_p(eq->nent) is true :(

We've had this __builtin_constant_p() bogon occur before now - it
happened with one or two kmalloc() callsites on x86 for some gcc
versions, but we seemed to make it go away by some means.

I guess I can ignore the link errors for now, but it's sad to have to
rub out yet another gcc version.
