Re: Got crash! some questions about icl and gcc library when us

My develop environment:
MS vs.studio 2008
Intel C++ Compiler 11.0.074
Windows 2003 sp2
MinGW
gcc 4.2.1 for MinGW

I downloaded Intel C++ Compiler 11.0.074 and want to compile some code. For the reason that icl can't compile some source code contained inline asm file, I split these codes and compile them in MinGW environment using gcc tooutput static library. I use this library link with otherobject filescreated by icl and things are in good train.

But when I test this exe files , I got crash! The crash address is in sse2 code compiled by gcc in MinGW.
Some people talk about this problem and think this is the reason for memory align. sse2 code must align use 16. ButICL failed to do this. there is no answer about this problem.

How can I to do ? I just want use sse code so use gcc to compile it. I don't want to disable sse code to resolved this.

This is well known, even if it hasn't been discussed much recently. ICL 32-bit does not support greater than 4 byte stack alignment requirements of functions compiled by other compilers. Among the ways to work around this would be to use an intermediate wrapper function compiled by gcc, not depending on alignment at entry, with -mpreferred-stack-boundary=4 (the default for support of parallel sse), so that alignment is set at exit. Just as you can't use parallel SSE in a 32-bit gcc main(), you must use parallel SSE only in a function called from a gcc function compiled with compatible options, or adjust the stack explicitly.
By the same token, you would have trouble with the plain Microsoft 32-bit malloc().
There is an effort to define a standard ABI for 32-bit compilers, but Windows is unlikely to be influenced by any such standard.
64-bit MinGW seems likely to improve, so that could be another option.

Hello,
I read your code and just from statements view, I found that you didn't do movdqa statement to ptr[esp] and ptr[esp+10h] before you wrote 00FAB9C5 movdqa xmmword ptr [esp+20h],xmm1 ----- got crash here!
This will make some crash if the data is not aligned 16 boundary. Hope it can help you.

Thanks,

Hi,

I went through your code, and user guide. and I read:
por
Packed logical inclusive OR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
Performs a packed logical inclusive OR on the operands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: por is an MMX instruction.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Operand Form(s)

memory, MMX register
MMX register, MMX register

So, in por xmm1, xmmword ptr[edx] statement, maybe you should change to 2 statements like this:
mov one register name, ptr[edx]
por xmm1 xmmword one register name

becuase por statement can't operate memory address as its source value.

Hope it can help you.

Thanks,
Wise
