armcc [4.1 Build 894] generates bad code?

    Thanks!! That seems to be what I was looking for! I tried to scan through compiler reference pdf, but I simply hate using pdf because of that clumsy adobe reader and wasn't patient enough to find this option.

    If I use profiler and if there is some sort of exception then it all breaks, any idea how to find that bad spot that triggers eception in profiler/emulator? If I use debugger then it work fine. Also, it seem that changing A and U bits doesn't work in profiler (Align and Unaligned access flags)

    FYI, that option  --no_unaligned_access didn't help. I'm still getting millions of exceptions when running in emulator and I have no idea where they come from and how to find that offending part of code. What a crappy tool, insane...

    Ok, after some time was wasted with RVDS profiler, it appears that the alignment issue was fixed with that -no-unaligned-access compiler switch. However, I still get millions of exceptions if I include handwritten asm code. I simply don't get it: is this rvds profiler a working product, or it's a pile of manoeuvre: if code is not good (supposedly, as it thinks) why the ###### it keeps running it and doesn't show what's wrong with that code...

    I hope I simply missed something, but I tried to click everywhere and I have no clue what's wrong with it, seems like it was designed with that flow

    For ARMv6 and ARMv7 CPUs the compiler assumes unaligned access is allowed by default; for older cores it will assume no unaligned access by default.

    Try setting --no_unaligned_access
