- Subject: [PATCH]: Fix bogus overflow warnings from SH .byte directives
Hi Guys,
The attached file "too_large.s" is a distilled version of a gcc
compiled test case that triggers a problem with the SH port of GAS.
When assembled it generates these error messages for some .byte
directives:
too_large.s:6: Error: value of 310 too large for field of 1 bytes at 256
too_large.s:7: Error: value of 298 too large for field of 1 bytes at 257
too_large.s:8: Error: value of 260 too large for field of 1 bytes at 258
too_large.s:9: Error: value of 286 too large for field of 1 bytes at 259
The values are in fact OK. The problem is that the SH backend has
computed the correct value and checked its range, but it has not
told the generic code about this.
There are two possible ways to solve this problem. Either the SH
backend can return the correct value to the generic code, which will
then range check it again. Or it can just tell the generic code
that the (wrong) value that it has has already been range checked
and that it does not need to be checked again. I have gone for the
latter method.
Cheers
Nick

* config/tc-sh.c (md_apply_fix): Do not allow the generic code in
fixup_segment() to repeat a range check on a value that have
already been checked here.

* gas/sh/basic.exp: Run "too_large" dump test.

do not generate a bogus overflow message.
* gas/sh/too_large.s: New test control file.
