I have a tight loop listed as follow. thumb-2.
PC=0x700abdfe DISASS="MRRC p15,#0,r0,r1,c14"
PC=0x700abe02 DISASS="SUBS r0,r0,r2"
PC=0x700abe04 DISASS="SBC r1,r1,r3"
PC=0x700abe08 DISASS="SUBS r0,r0,r4"
PC=0x700abe0a DISASS="SBCS r1,r1,r5"
PC=0x700abe0c DISASS="BCC {pc}-0xe ; 0x700abdfe"
The target address,0x700abdfe, is not 4 byte aligned, the performance hit is huge.
How to force the branch target to be 4 byte aligned? Any compiler options to do that? I am using arm A15.
What we’d really be asking is “does this alignment inefficiency cause the ARM fast model to take inordinate amounts of time to simulate?"
Hello again, from a simple test I cannot replicate such behavior.
It is probably best to raise an official support case from the support menu above. You may need to share the code as well as the system you are running to help investigate thoroughly.
Okay, I will open an official case. Thank you very much Ronan!
Isn't this one official? I opened this case through the menu -> ...
