Error compiling with clang

Error compiling with clang

[Truls Becken]

Hi,

Compiling musl 0.9.0 with clang 3.0 gives me the following:

src/math/i386/llrint.s:5:2: error: invalid instruction mnemonic 'fistpq'

Changing fistpq back to fistpl in the 3 llrint files makes it compile.
Is this a bug in clang? How should it be resolved?

fistpl writes a 32-bit integer. This function needs a 64-bit integer
result. I'm pretty sure clang is just wrong here, but if there's an
alternate mnemonic for fistpq that works on clang and gcc/gas I'd be
happy to change it.

In the mean time, you can just remove that .s file so the C code gets
used.

in llrint you need the 64 bit int store instruction not the 32 bit one

it's either a bug in your as or clang
(although these instruction mnemonics are not documented)
here gnu as recognizes fistpq

This is a bug with clang it wasn't implemented until recently, use svn

it seems clang recognizes fistpll instead of fistpq
(which works on gas as well)

true, but the ll version works in earlier clangs as well
maybe it's better to use that one if every as recognizes it

Indeed, I'll change it.

I realized after sending the question that the issue would not be
with clang per se, but rather llvm-as.

Thanks to everyone participating for resolving this. Supporting
clang 3.0, as opposed to a future point version, is a good thing.

I can now easily patch musl myself until the next release.
