Right, it only detects that %c on a sym+offset doesn't ICE, which was what it had been doing since atleast version 4.3. The assumption was that since asm goto was only added in ~4.5, all older compilers (regardless of their state of %c support) would choke (as we want them to) on the existing second half of this script. I have added the change you suggested below. > > > http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48637 > > > > Cc: Jason Baron > > Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org > > Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent > > --- > > scripts/gcc-goto.sh | 18 +++++++++++++++++- > > 1 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/scripts/gcc-goto.sh b/scripts/gcc-goto.sh > > index 98cffcb..9b744de 100644 > > --- a/scripts/gcc-goto.sh > > +++ b/scripts/gcc-goto.sh > > @@ -2,4 +2,20 @@ > > # Test for gcc 'asm goto' support > > # Copyright (C) 2010, Jason Baron > > > > -echo "int main(void) { entry: asm goto (\"\"::::entry); return 0; }" | $@ -x c - -c -o /dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "y" > > +cat << "END" | $@ -x c - -c -o /dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "y" > > +int main(void) > > +{ > > +#ifdef __arm__ > > + /* > > + * Not related to asm goto, but used by jump label > > + * and broken on some ARM GCC versions (see GCC Bug 48637). > > + */ > > + static struct { int dummy; int state; } tp; > > + asm ("@ %c0" :: "i" (&tp.state)); > > While this detects the presence of the ICE, previous compilers included > the '#' before the constant, which leads to problems.
