[Bug gas/4587] New: Sparc fcmps instruction - extra operand causes SEGFAULT

[j dot auricchio at gmail dot com]

Hi!
Working on a Compilers project (http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~ricko/CSE131B/). We're 
compiling Oberon to 
Sparc assembly.
I had a bug in my code generator that revealed a crasher in gas.

If you pass three operands to the Sparc floating-point instruction fcmps 
(floating-point single-
precision compare), gas segfaults. fcmps is only supposed to take two operands. 
This should cause an 
illegal operand error, but instead it segfaults. I haven't tested to see if any 
other floating-point 
instructions are affected.

The server we test our code on is running an older version of gas. Perhaps this 
has been fixed. If so, 
sorry for bugging you.

gas -v: GNU assembler version 2.14 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) using BFD version 
2.14 20030612

uname -a: SunOS ieng9.ucsd.edu 5.10 Generic_125100-07 sun4u sparc 
SUNW,Sun-Fire-880

Testcase:
.section .data
.align 4
zero: .single 0.0
.section .text
.align 4
.global main
main:
    save %sp, -96, %sp

    ! Zero-out the first FP register
    set zero, %l0
    ld [%l0], %f0

    ! Compare it to itself
    ! The third reg (%f0) will cause a segfault in as
    ! fcmps only takes two regs... this should be illegal operand error
    fcmps %f0, %f0, %f0

    ! Return 0
    ret
    restore %g0, %g0, %o0

Backtrace (from gdb... WOW we have debugging symbols on???)

Hmm.... it looks like it was trying to print an error message, but failed.
