I'm in the process of bringing an XCode 2.2 project up on Intel. It builds and runs with the "Development" configuration, but when I switch to "Deployment" I get the following at the end of a block of inline assembly (file and function names changed to protect the innocent). The block consists almost entirely of MMX/SSE instructions.

foo.cpp: In function 'void bar(blah blah)':
foo.cpp:741: error: unable to find a register to spill in class 'SSE_REGS'
foo.cpp:741: error: this is the insn:
(insn:HI 30 29 31 0 foo.cpp:560 (set (reg/v:SF 64 [ last_weight ])
(mem/u/i:SF (symbol_ref/u:SI ("*LC43") [flags 0x2]) [5 S4 A32])) 60 {*movsf_1} (nil)
(nil))
foo.cpp:741: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
{standard input}:12192:FATAL:.abort detected. Assembly stopping.


Disabling the optimizer for this file (-O0) makes the error go away. 'last_weight' is a 'float' variable that's used elsewhere in the function, but not referenced from the inline assembly blocks.

Has anyone else seen an error like this? Any suggestions on other ways to get around it? Obviously, this is code that I'd rather not disable the optimizer on (since it's performance-critical enough to warrant MMX optimizations in the first place).

Please file a bug report. We'll need a preprocessed version of the file along with the command line being used to invoke the compiler.


Thanks,
Eric
