Hi,
I found an issue of cross gcc built by util/crossgcc/buildgcc
take this piece of code as an example
struct st{
unsigned int a:12;
};
then I declare a variable:
struct st m;
This is my test result:
1) If I compile it by host gcc, sizeof(m) is 4.
2) If I put these codes in a coreboot mainboard, build it by cross
gcc. use printk to print the length.
sizeof(m) is 2.
3) If I use cross gcc, compile the code use "-c" flag (put these code
in size.c, not put it in a mainboard's source)
use "nm --format sysv size.o" to check, the length is 4
Name Value Class Type Size Line Section
m |00000004| C | OBJECT|00000004| |*COM*
My question is:
Although 12 bits only take 2 Bytes, in the struct I declare it as
unsigned int. So sizeof(m) should be 4. Why it is 2 when building it
in coreboot?
About test 3:
coreboot's cross gcc doesn't have C Library, so I declare a global
variable and use nm to check the size.
