Hi,

in FFmpeg r24986, clang miscompiles decode_cabac_mb_mvd() in
libavcodec/h264_cabac.c. The function looks like this:

static int decode_cabac_mb_mvd( H264Context *h, int ctxbase, int amvd, int
*mvda) {
    int mvd;

    if(!get_cabac(&h->cabac,
&h->cabac_state[ctxbase+((amvd-3)>>(INT_BIT-1))+((amvd-33)>>(INT_BIT-1))+2])){
//    if(!get_cabac(&h->cabac, &h->cabac_state[ctxbase+(amvd>2)+(amvd>32)])){
        *mvda= 0;
        return 0;
    }
[.. more, but cut ..]

get_cabac is either C or inline ASM. For clang, we're using inline ASM, where
the relevant part looks like this (full code available from libavcodec/cabac.h,
if you want to look at it). I left out BRANCHLESS_GET_CABAC_UPDATE for
readability, because it shouldn't be necessary:

REG_c (in the clobber list, bottom) is defined as "ecx" in our header files (or
rcx on x86-64, but this is x86-32). RANGE is "4" and LOW is "0" (these are
offsets in struct c). Clang generates this confusing code for
decode_cabac_mb_mvd():

The last pieces at +174/+177 are the writes to the c struct at offset 4 and
zero that I pointed out above at the end of get_cabac, and the lines after that
are the "*mvda = 0; return 0;" lines from decode_cabac_mb_mvd() right after the
inlined get_cabac call returns. However, if you look how it writes the values
into the "c" struct at +174/+177 (and earlier on reads from the "c" struct), it
uses ecx for this, even though ecx is part of the clobberlist and is used for
calculations in the middle of the inline asm. Needless to say, the writes crash
(the reads are likely invalid, but it does not yet crash):

Looks like a compiler bug to me. Works fine with gcc on x86-32/x86-64, also
works fine with clang on x86-64.

(it also fails on freeBSD, I haven't verified but I assume it's the same bug)

Let me know if you need more information.
