[llvm-dev] Is it a va_arg bug in clang?

[Shi, Steven via llvm-dev]

For the variadic function error with AMD64 abi and windows calling convention on 64bits x86, I find it has been tracked in Bug 20847 (https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=20847) (http://reviews.llvm.org/D1622#inline-9345). Do we still plan to fix it?

You know, I meet exactly same va_arg mistake with llvm3.7 when I enable the Uefi firmware (http://www.uefi.org/) build with clang. The ms_abi is the Uefi firmware binary module standard interface. I really hope this bug fix can been checked in as soon as possible. If we cannot fix it in short time, could we offer a temporary fix patch based on llvm3.7?

Hello,
I'm trying to use the clang3.7 to compile  64bits x86 code with Microsoft ABI in Ubuntu 64bit, but I find the va_arg get the wrong variable argument from the va_list. Below is my test code.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>

void
__attribute__((ms_abi))
Foo_va_list (
    int                       VaNum,
    const char  *Format,
  ...
  )
{
                va_list  Marker;
                long long    Value;

                va_start (Marker, Format);
                for (int i = 0; i < VaNum; i++ ) {
                                Value = va_arg (Marker, int);
                                printf("Value = 0x%llx\n", Value);
                }
                va_end (Marker);
}


int main()
{
  Foo_va_list (16, "0123456789abcdef= %x%x%x%x%x%x%x%x%x%x%x%x%x%x%x%x \n", 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0xa,0xb,0xc,0xd,0xe,0xf);
  return 0;
}

The expected output are:
Value = 0x0
Value = 0x1
Value = 0x2
Value = 0x3
Value = 0x4
Value = 0x5
Value = 0x6
Value = 0x7
Value = 0x8
Value = 0x9
Value = 0xa
Value = 0xb
Value = 0xc
Value = 0xd
Value = 0xe
Value = 0xf

But the real output are:
Value = 0x0
Value = 0x1
Value = 0x2
Value = 0x3
Value = 0x4
Value = 0x5
Value = 0x0
Value = 0x1
Value = 0x2
Value = 0x3
Value = 0x4
Value = 0x5
Value = 0x6
Value = 0x7
Value = 0x8
Value = 0x9

After I remove the Microsoft ABI definition __attribute__((ms_abi)) above  Foo_va_list () in the code, the output will become correct. I find GCC also have similar wrong behavior with __attribute__((ms_abi)). I don't know how to make the __attribute__((ms_abi)) work correctly with va_arg.  I appreciate if any suggestion.
