                                                  Hello all,<br>
                                                  <br>
                                                  I'm currently in the
                                                  process of debugging a
                                                  crash occurring in our
                                                  program. In LLVM 3.2
                                                  and 3.3 it appears
                                                  that JIT generated
                                                  code is attempting to
                                                  perform access
                                                  unaligned memory with
                                                  a SSE2 instruction.
                                                  However this only
                                                  happens under certain
                                                  conditions that seem
                                                  (but may not be)
                                                  related to the stacks
                                                  state on calling the
                                                  function.<br>
                                                  <br>
                                                  Our program acts as a
                                                  front-end, using the
                                                  LLVM C++ API to
                                                  generate a JIT
                                                  generated function.
                                                  This function is
                                                  primarily
                                                  mathematical, so we
                                                  use the Vector types
                                                  to take advantage of
                                                  SIMD instructions (as
                                                  well as a few SSE2
                                                  intrinsics).<br>
                                                  <br>
                                                  This worked in LLVM
                                                  2.8 but started
                                                  failing in 3.2 and has
                                                  continued to fail in
                                                  3.3. It fails with no
                                                  optimizations applied
                                                  to the LLVM
                                                  Function/Module. It
                                                  crashes with what is
                                                  reported as a memory
                                                  access error
                                                  (accessing
                                                  0xffffffff), however
                                                  it's suggested that
                                                  this is how the SSE
                                                  fault raising
                                                  mechanism appears.<br>
                                                  <br>
                                                  The generated
                                                  instruction varies,
                                                  but it seems to often
                                                  be similar to (I don't
                                                  have it in front of
                                                  me, sorry):<br>
                                                  movapd xmm0,
                                                  xmm[ecx+0x???????]<br>
                                                  Where the xmm register
                                                  changes, and the
                                                  second parameter is a
                                                  memory access.<br>
                                                  ECX is always set to
                                                  0x7ffffff - however I
                                                  don't know if this is
                                                  part of the SSE error
                                                  reporting process or
                                                  is part of the
                                                  situation causing the
                                                  error.<br>
                                                  <br>
                                                  I haven't worked out
                                                  exactly what code path
                                                  etc is causing this
                                                  crash. I'm hoping that
                                                  someone can tell me if
                                                  there were any changed
                                                  requirements for
                                                  working with SIMD in
                                                  LLVM 3.2 (or earlier,
                                                  we haven't tried 3.0
                                                  or 3.1). I currently
                                                  suspect the use of
                                                  GlobalVariable (we
                                                  first discovered the
                                                  crash when using a
                                                  feature that uses
                                                  them), however I have
                                                  attempted using
                                                  setAlignment on the
                                                  GlobalVariables
                                                  without any change.<br>
