Re: [Tinycc-devel] TCC very interesting error

Adding this one more variable causes the local stack grow over 4096.  This
requires the usage of __chkstk on windows (because there, unlike on linux,
each new stack page needs to be touched explicitely to make sure it gets
physically mapped)

However there seems a problem with latest TCC having problems to assemble
its own __chkstk function.  In particular there are some 66 prefixes that should
not be there.  See below.

Mr. Frederic Feret, would you look into it ?

Thanks,

Subject: [Tinycc-devel] TCC very interesting error


Hello. Im working on MS windows 7, I have latest tinycc version.

I'm trying to compile simple program, it runs OK. But, when it has a lot of 
variables it fails.
This is the function, that I tried to compile: http://www.turcinas.lt/testas.c
TCC compiles it and I receive any errors. It can run, everything is OK. But if I change last 
line from: "int _3308,_369;" to: "int _3308,_369,variable;" (just add one more variable) and it 
doesn't run (prints error). This is console code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\tcc>tcc -c testas.c
C:\tcc>tcc -run testas.o
tcc: undefined symbol '__chkstk'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one additional variable trick maby wont arise on your machines, because of different 
platforms, memories and so, but the thing is, that I have faced very strange situation.

I found on google, that such error arises when code tries to combine MSVC libs with gcc/mingw 
libs. But in my case there is only one simple function with many int type variables... No libs, 
just simple function. I don't know whats wrong, help me.
