           Summary: Sparc llc creates global initializers with invalid
                    alignment
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: SunOS
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: SPARC Backend
        AssignedTo: criswell at uiuc.edu
        ReportedBy: criswell at uiuc.edu


The Sparc Code Generator libraries, used by llc, generate assembly directives
that do not properly alignment padding bytes.  Specifically, sometimes word or
halfword zeros are inserted to pad the end of a structure, but the beginning of
the padding is itself not on a word or halfword boundary.

The LLVM assembly attachment and llc output that I will attach will explain the
problem much better.

I've assigned it to myself as I think I can fix it quickly.
