There’s a circular dependency in setting the variable BigStack and AFI->setHashStackFrame(true). The expression which initializes BigStack calls estimateRSSStackSizeLimit which in turn checks AFI->hasStackFrame(). Unfortunately setHasStackFrame(true) only gets called after BigStack is initialized.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The specific issue this caused in my case was that BigStack got initialized as false because estimateRSSStackSizeLimit returned (1<<12)-1 instead of (1<<8)-1. The code thus never entered the if (BigStack && !ExtraCSSpill) block further down where setScavengingFrameIndex should have been set. As a result of it was not being set there, there was an assertion failure (ScavengingFrameIndex >= 0) and subsequent memory corruption in RegScavenger::scavengeRegister.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I fixed this by performing the CanEliminateFrame and RegInfo->cannotEliminateFrame checks before the call to estimateRSSStackSizeLimit, since these values are available before BigStack is initialized. Does that sound reasonable? I’ve attached a patch with my change.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Oh, I should mention that the previous version of LLVM we used, 2.6, didn’t include the check to hasStackFrame() in estimateRSSStackSizeLimit and worked on the same input.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-alok.<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
