[LLVMdev] Misaligned SSE store problem (with reduced source)

[Aaron Dwyer]

Using LLVM 2.9, the following LLVM IR produces invalid x86 32 bit assembly (a misaligned SSE store).

; ModuleID = 'MisalignedStore'

define void @MisalignedStore() nounwind readnone {
entry:
  %v = alloca <4 x float>, align 16
  store <4 x float> zeroinitializer, <4 x float>* %v, align 16
  br label %post-block

post-block:
  %f = alloca float
  ret void
}

If I feed this to llc with -march=x86, the following is produced.  Note the 24 byte offset from ebp:

.def _MisalignedStore;
.scl 2;
.type 32;
.endef
.text
.globl _MisalignedStore
.align 16, 0x90
_MisalignedStore:                       # @MisalignedStore
# BB#0:                                 # %entry
pushl %ebp
movl %esp, %ebp
subl $24, %esp
pxor %xmm0, %xmm0
movaps %xmm0, -24(%ebp)
movl $8, %eax
calll __alloca
movl %ebp, %esp
popl %ebp
ret


The code is trivial and useless, but it's a boiled down version of a real program.  Am I doing something wrong in that IR?  Note that removing the last alloca of %f or the jump to post-block both cause the resulting assembly to be correct.  Note also that specifying -march=x86-64 to llc results in correct code as well.  If this is a known problem and has been fixed already, can you point me at the commit?
