BUG found in the VinAsm tool ?
« on: August 22, 2021, 11:31:39 AM »

Hi

I wasted my time to try to found why my code is not working properly and the reason seems to be your VinAsm tool.

Look at this piece of my code:



Quote

...

typedef struct _BSS_t
{

   ...
   unsigned char devsState;
   ...

} BSS_t;

...

BSS_t *BSS;

...

unsigned char msk1;
unsigned char msk2;
unsigned char msk3;
unsigned char msk4;
unsigned char msks1;
unsigned char msks2;

...

void cmd_cr()
{
   msk1 = HOST_DD1;
   msk2 = HOST_DD2;
   msk3 = HOST_DR1;
   msk4 = HOST_DR2;

   msks1 = (HOST_DD1 | HOST_DD2 | HOST_DR1 | HOST_DR2);
   msks2 = ~(HOST_DD1 | HOST_DD2 | HOST_DR1 | HOST_DR2);

   BSS->devsState &= ~(HOST_DD1 | HOST_DD2 | HOST_DR1 | HOST_DR2);
}

...


The compilation process produce a code which seems correct to me in the ".asm" generated file:

Quote

.FUNCTION   "cmd_cr"   

.RETURN "void"   0   0   0   3   0   0   0   
PUSH32   %r0
PUSH32   %r1
.LINE   56
LD8   msk1   $1
.LINE   57
LD8   msk2   $2
.LINE   58
LD8   msk3   $4
.LINE   59
LD8   msk4   $8
.LINE   61
LD8   msks1   $15
.LINE   62
LD8   msks2   $240
.LINE   64
LD16   %r0   $BSS
CPY16   %r0   (%r0)
LD16   %ebx   $280
ADD16   %r0   %ebx
CPY8   %r1   (%r0)
AND8   %r1   $240 <-----
CPY8   (%r0)   %r1
.LINE   64
POP32   %r1
POP32   %r0
RTS   
.FUNC_END   "cmd_cr"



Look especially at the marked line: $240 = 0xf0 which is effectively ~(HOST_DD1 | HOST_DD2 | HOST_DR1 | HOST_DR2)

But when i take a look at the disassembler file genereted during debugging, i find this which explain why my code doesn't work:


Quote

158ee f200 800c           PUSH32 0x000c
158f0 f200 8010           PUSH32 0x0010
158f2 2201 03af           LD8 0x03af $0x01
158f4 2202 03b0           LD8 0x03b0 $0x02
158f6 2204 03b1           LD8 0x03b1 $0x04
158f8 2208 03b2           LD8 0x03b2 $0x08
158fa 220f 03b3           LD8 0x03b3 $0x0f
158fc 22f0 03b4           LD8 0x03b4 $0xf0
158fe 2400 000c 03ad      LD16 0x000c $0x03ad
15901 4401 400c 000c      CPY16 0x000c (0x000c)
15904 2400 0004 0118      LD16 0x0004 $0x0118
15907 7400 4004 000c      ADD16 0x000c 0x0004
1590a 4401 000c 0010      CPY8 0x0010 (0x000c)
1590d 4a30 0010           AND8 0x0010 $0x30 <-----
1590f 4500 0010 000c      CPY8 (0x000c) 0x0010
15912 f380 0010           POP32 0x0010
15914 f380 000c           POP32 0x000c
15916 0006                RTS


0x03ad is the address of the BSS pointer. 0x118 is the offset of the devsState member in the BSS_t structure.

Look especially at the marked line: 0x30 is not 0xf0 and then is not ~(HOST_DD1 | HOST_DD2 | HOST_DR1 | HOST_DR2) !

Is this a known bug ?

Apparently, this is a problem with the &= operator: If i replace

Quote
BSS->devsState &= ~(HOST_DD1 | HOST_DD2 | HOST_DR1 | HOST_DR2);

by

Quote
BSS->devsState = BSS->devsState & ~(HOST_DD1 | HOST_DD2 | HOST_DR1 | HOST_DR2);

i obtain this code:

Quote

15951 2400 0014 03ad      LD16 0x0014 $0x03ad
15954 4401 4014 0018      CPY16 0x0018 (0x0014)
15957 2400 0004 0118      LD16 0x0004 $0x0118
1595a 7400 4004 0018      ADD16 0x0018 0x0004
1595d 4401 4014 0014      CPY16 0x0014 (0x0014)
15960 2400 0004 0118      LD16 0x0004 $0x0118
15963 7400 4004 0014      ADD16 0x0014 0x0004
15966 4401 0014 0014      CPY8 0x0014 (0x0014)
15969 4400 0014 0000      CPY8 0x0000 0x0014
1596c 4e00 0000 00ff 0000 AND32 0x0000 $0x000000ff
15970 2600 0014 fff0 ffff LD32 0x0014 $0xfffffff0
15974 5400 8000 0014      AND32 0x0014 0x0000
15977 4500 0014 0018      CPY8 (0x0018) 0x0014


which works but is badly optimized.

Willy.

Hi Willy,
It maybe a bug, but not a known one.   
We have been unable to replicate the issue you observed here .  It might be due to the level of optimisations? What optimisation level are you working at?

Hi,

to replicate this issue, compile this file:

using the following commands:

VinC.exe -c -d 1 -O 4 -o Debug\USB-BUG.asm USB-BUG.c

VinAsm.exe -v -d 1 -o Debug\USB-BUG.obj Debug\USB-BUG.asm

VinL.exe -d 1 -o Debug\USB-BUG Debug\USB-BUG.obj

and you will obtain this file with the bug:
