This option is enabled implicitly for SymbianOS, so there is no need to

specify it if you are using that target.

@kindex --vfp11-denorm-fix
|
||||
The @samp{--vfp11-denorm-fix} switch enables a link-time workaround for a
|
||||
bug in certain VFP11 coprocessor hardware, which sometimes allows
|
||||
instructions with denorm operands (which must be handled by support code)
|
||||
to have those operands overwritten by subsequent instructions before
|
||||
the support code can read the intended values.
|
||||
|
||||
The bug may be avoided in scalar mode if you allow at least one
|
||||
intervening instruction between a VFP11 instruction which uses a register
|
||||
and another instruction which writes to the same register, or at least two
|
||||
intervening instructions if vector mode is in use. The bug only affects
|
||||
full-compliance floating-point mode: you do not need this workaround if
|
||||
you are using "runfast" mode. Please contact ARM for further details.
|
||||
|
||||
If you know you are using buggy VFP11 hardware, you can
|
||||
enable this workaround by specifying the linker option
|
||||
@samp{--vfp-denorm-fix=scalar} if you are using the VFP11 scalar
|
||||
mode only, or @samp{--vfp-denorm-fix=vector} if you are using
|
||||
vector mode (the latter also works for scalar code). The default is
|
||||
@samp{--vfp-denorm-fix=none}.
|
||||
|
||||
If the workaround is enabled, instructions are scanned for
|
||||
potentially-troublesome sequences, and a veneer is created for each
|
||||
such sequence which may trigger the erratum. The veneer consists of the
|
||||
first instruction of the sequence and a branch back to the subsequent
|
||||
instruction. The original instruction is then replaced with a branch to
|
||||
the veneer. The extra cycles required to call and return from the veneer
|
||||
are sufficient to avoid the erratum in both the scalar and vector cases.
