           Summary: bug in folding load of static initializer data
           Product: libraries
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Common Code Generator Code
        AssignedTo: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

There's a bug in folding loads of static initializers. If there are bytes with
the high bit set, adjacent bytes are getting set to all ones when the compiler
is running on a host with signed char. Here's a patch that fixes it:

   for (unsigned i = 0; i != MSB; ++i) {

+    Val = (Val << 8) | (unsigned char) Str[Offset];
     Offset += TLI.isLittleEndian() ? -1 : 1;
   }
   return DAG.getConstant(Val, VT);
And here's a testcase that reproduces the problem.
target datalayout = "e-p:32:32"
target endian = little
target pointersize = 32
target triple = "i686-pc-linux-gnu"
%fmt = constant [4 x sbyte] c"%x\0A\00"
%bytes = constant [4 x sbyte] c"\AA\BB\CC\DD"
implementation
int %main() {
        %y = alloca uint
        %c = cast uint* %y to sbyte*
        %z = getelementptr [4 x sbyte]* %bytes, int 0, int 0
        call void %llvm.memcpy.i32( sbyte* %c, sbyte* %z, uint 4, uint 1 )
        %r = load uint* %y
        %t = cast [4 x sbyte]* %fmt to sbyte*
        %tmp = call int (sbyte*, ...)* %printf( sbyte* %t, uint %r )
        ret int 0
}
declare void %llvm.memcpy.i32(sbyte*, sbyte*, uint, uint)
declare int %printf(sbyte*, ...)
