Re: [Libjit] Basic float32 issue

[Matthew Keeter]

Digging a little deeper, the IR looks fine but the generated assembly is missing a data / bss section with float constants:

Before compiling:

function test() : float32

.L:

        return_float32(19.000000)

        ends_in_dead

.L:

.L:

end

After compiling:

function test() : float32

/tmp/libjit-dump.o:     file format mach-o-x86-64

Disassembly of section .text:

000000010413914c <.text>:

   10413914c:   55                      push   %rbp

   10413914d:   48 8b ec                mov    %rsp,%rbp

   104139150:   f3 0f 10 05 78 fe 00    movss  0xfe78(%rip),%xmm0        # 0x104148fd0

   104139157:   00

   104139158:   48 8b e5                mov    %rbp,%rsp

   10413915b:   5d                      pop    %rbp

   10413915c:   c3                      retq

end

In particular, note that

    movss  0xfe78(%rip),%xmm0        # 0x104148fd0

is pointing off into space.

Does this ring any bells?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi all,

I’m having trouble with floating-point operations and have reduced to a very simple test case.
The code below creates a function with no arguments that just returns a float32 constant.

For some reason, instead of returning the constant’s value, it always gives zero.

Identical code with jit_type_int works fine, so I’m puzzled as to what’s going on.
Any ideas?  The code is pasted below

Thanks,
Matt

   jit_context_t context;
   jit_type_t signature;
   jit_function_t function;
   jit_value_t c;

   jit_context_build_start(context);

   signature = jit_type_create_signature
       (jit_abi_cdecl, jit_type_float32, NULL, 0, 1);

   function = jit_function_create(context, signature);

   c = jit_value_create_float32_constant(function, jit_type_float32, (jit_float32)13.0f);
   jit_insn_return(function, c);

   jit_function_compile(function);
   jit_context_build_end(context);
   jit_function_apply(function, NULL, &result);
   printf("const(13) = %f\n", (float)result);

   jit_context_destroy(context);
