Analyzing the assembler and the gdb-reported register values for #5 leads me to conclude that the size requested was in r4 and was: r4 0x80000 524288 in the code (after +8): 0x420f5ce4 <+0>: push {r4, r5, r11, lr} 0x420f5ce8 <+4>: add r11, sp, #8 0x420f5cec <+8>: mov r4, r0 0x420f5cf0 <+12>: cmp r0, #0 0x420f5cf4 <+16>: movweq r4, #1 0x420f5cf8 <+20>: mov r0, r4 0x420f5cfc <+24>: bl 0x42102070 0x420f5d00 <+28>: cmp r0, #0 0x420f5d04 <+32>: popne {r4, r5, r11, pc} 0x420f5d08 <+36>: ldr r5, [pc, #76] ; 0x420f5d5c <_Znwj+120> 0x420f5d0c <+40>: add r5, pc, r5 0x420f5d10 <+44>: ldr r0, [r5] 0x420f5d14 <+48>: dmb ish 0x420f5d18 <+52>: cmp r0, #0 0x420f5d1c <+56>: beq 0x420f5d38 <_Znwj+84> 0x420f5d20 <+60>: blx r0 => 0x420f5d24 <+64>: mov r0, r4 0x420f5d28 <+68>: bl 0x42102070 0x420f5d2c <+72>: cmp r0, #0 0x420f5d30 <+76>: beq 0x420f5d10 <_Znwj+44> 0x420f5d34 <+80>: pop {r4, r5, r11, pc} 0x420f5d38 <+84>: mov r0, #4 0x420f5d3c <+88>: bl 0x42102260 0x420f5d40 <+92>: bl 0x42103390 0x420f5d44 <+96>: ldr r1, [pc, #20] ; 0x420f5d60 <_Znwj+124> 0x420f5d48 <+100>: ldr r1, [pc, r1] 0x420f5d4c <+104>: ldr r2, [pc, #16] ; 0x420f5d64 <_Znwj+128> 0x420f5d50 <+108>: ldr r2, [pc, r2] 0x420f5d54 <+112>: mov lr, pc 0x420f5d58 <+116>: b 0x42102270 0x420f5d5c <+120>: ldrdeq r5, [r3], -r0 0x420f5d60 <+124>: andeq r0, r2, r4, lsr #32 0x420f5d64 <+128>: andeq r0, r2, r0, lsr #32 === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
