sugen() calls cgen64() speculatively so that when cgen64() returns
zero, it will fall back and compile 64-bit copy.
the bug was that cgen64() compiled the left hand side and then recursively
called cgen64() again, which didnt handle the memory copy so it returned
zero and sugen() would compile the left hand side again resulting in two
function calls being emited.
some code that reproduced the issue:
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
typedef struct
{
char x[10];
vlong a;
} X;
X a;
X *f(void) { return &a; }
void
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
f()->a = a.a;
}
producing:
TEXT f+0(SB),0,$0
MOVL $a+0(SB),AX
RET ,
RET ,
TEXT main+0(SB),0,$0
CALL ,f+0(SB)
CALL ,f+0(SB) <- bug
MOVL AX,CX
LEAL a+12(SB),DX
MOVL (DX),AX
MOVL AX,12(CX)
MOVL 4(DX),AX
MOVL AX,16(CX)
RET ,
GLOBL a+0(SB),$20
END ,
