[Barrelfish-users] GCC compiler bug

[Zeus Gómez Marmolejo]

Hi,

I've seen this workaround in several inline functions throughout the ARM
code, and I am wondering to which GCC bug it refers to. This bug seems to
be affecting arm-gcc 4.6.3 as well, which is the default version on the
latest Ubuntu Linux. So that should be corrected. Do you know if in the gcc
4.7 branch this bug has been corrected?


//XXX: workaround for inline bug of arm-gcc 4.6.1 and lower
#if defined(__ARM_ARCH_7A__) && defined(__GNUC__) \
        && __GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ <= 6 && __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ <= 1
static __attribute__((noinline, unused)) errval_t
#else
static inline errval_t
#endif
