From 2c5c11ae9e0c5f4605fb9cdd2e8bd94fe0a06d95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andres Freund Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2015 11:15:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Improve configure test for the sse4.2 crc instruction. With optimizations enabled at least one compiler, clang 3.7, optimized away the crc intrinsics knowing that the result went on unused and has no side effects. That can trigger errors in code generation when the intrinsic is used, as we chose to use the intrinsics without any additional compiler flag. Return the computed value to prevent that. With some more pedantic warning flags (-Wold-style-definition) the configure test failed to recognize the existence of _mm_crc32_u* intrinsics due to an independent warning in the test because the test turned on -Werror, but that's not actually needed here. Discussion: 20150814092039.GH4955@awork2.anarazel.de Backpatch: 9.5, where the use of crc intrinsics was integrated. --- config/c-compiler.m4 | 7 +++---- configure | 10 ++++------ 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/config/c-compiler.m4 b/config/c-compiler.m4 index 4ef0de65a8..ea8ea9705b 100644 --- a/config/c-compiler.m4 +++ b/config/c-compiler.m4 @@ -488,15 +488,14 @@ AC_DEFUN([PGAC_SSE42_CRC32_INTRINSICS], AC_CACHE_CHECK([for _mm_crc32_u8 and _mm_crc32_u32 with CFLAGS=$1], [Ac_cachevar], [pgac_save_CFLAGS=$CFLAGS CFLAGS="$pgac_save_CFLAGS $1" -ac_save_c_werror_flag=$ac_c_werror_flag -ac_c_werror_flag=yes AC_TRY_LINK([#include ], [unsigned int crc = 0; crc = _mm_crc32_u8(crc, 0); - crc = _mm_crc32_u32(crc, 0);], + crc = _mm_crc32_u32(crc, 0); + /* return computed value, to prevent the above being optimized away */ + return crc == 0;], [Ac_cachevar=yes], [Ac_cachevar=no]) -ac_c_werror_flag=$ac_save_c_werror_flag CFLAGS="$pgac_save_CFLAGS"]) if test x"$Ac_cachevar" = x"yes"; then CFLAGS_SSE42="$1" diff --git a/configure b/configure index ec6ae26a9e..223f687d23 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -14296,8 +14296,6 @@ if ${pgac_cv_sse42_crc32_intrinsics_+:} false; then : else pgac_save_CFLAGS=$CFLAGS CFLAGS="$pgac_save_CFLAGS " -ac_save_c_werror_flag=$ac_c_werror_flag -ac_c_werror_flag=yes cat confdefs.h - <<_ACEOF >conftest.$ac_ext /* end confdefs.h. */ #include @@ -14307,6 +14305,8 @@ main () unsigned int crc = 0; crc = _mm_crc32_u8(crc, 0); crc = _mm_crc32_u32(crc, 0); + /* return computed value, to prevent the above being optimized away */ + return crc == 0; ; return 0; } @@ -14318,7 +14318,6 @@ else fi rm -f core conftest.err conftest.$ac_objext \ conftest$ac_exeext conftest.$ac_ext -ac_c_werror_flag=$ac_save_c_werror_flag CFLAGS="$pgac_save_CFLAGS" fi { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: $pgac_cv_sse42_crc32_intrinsics_" >&5 @@ -14336,8 +14335,6 @@ if ${pgac_cv_sse42_crc32_intrinsics__msse4_2+:} false; then : else pgac_save_CFLAGS=$CFLAGS CFLAGS="$pgac_save_CFLAGS -msse4.2" -ac_save_c_werror_flag=$ac_c_werror_flag -ac_c_werror_flag=yes cat confdefs.h - <<_ACEOF >conftest.$ac_ext /* end confdefs.h. */ #include @@ -14347,6 +14344,8 @@ main () unsigned int crc = 0; crc = _mm_crc32_u8(crc, 0); crc = _mm_crc32_u32(crc, 0); + /* return computed value, to prevent the above being optimized away */ + return crc == 0; ; return 0; } @@ -14358,7 +14357,6 @@ else fi rm -f core conftest.err conftest.$ac_objext \ conftest$ac_exeext conftest.$ac_ext -ac_c_werror_flag=$ac_save_c_werror_flag CFLAGS="$pgac_save_CFLAGS" fi { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: $pgac_cv_sse42_crc32_intrinsics__msse4_2" >&5
