stdarch: rustc crashes when trying to bench upcoming neon-support in RustFFT with latest stdarch.

I’m working on adding neon support to RustFFT, and wanted to try the vld* and vst* instrinsics added here: https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1224

First results were promising, but now I’m having a hard time running benchmarks because rustc crashes when building the benches. It crashes quite hard, without giving any useful error message. I’m using rust commit d14731c (simply master from yesterday, have also tried with a version from a couple of days ago with the same result), with stdarch updated to commit 931cdfb.

I would like to investigate this and try to at least help solve it, but I have no idea were to start. Any advice?

I’m trying to bench this branch: https://github.com/HEnquist/RustFFT/tree/vldx

I have tried on both a raspberry pi, and on an Oracle Ampere VM, with the same results.

Error:

I just got back to this after a small break 😃 Things are working just fine on recent rustc versions.

We can replace vld2q_f64 with a fn with equivalent behavior and see if the crash will still happen:

pub unsafe fn vld2q_f64_fake(a: *const f64) -> float64x2x2_t {
    let x: [f64; 4] = core::ptr::read_unaligned(a.cast());
    transmute([x[0], x[2], x[1], x[3]])
}

I need a newer stdarch than in the latest nightly, with all the vld* and vst* intrinsics.

LLVM version: 13.0.0

This is what I wanted to make sure of. The last “official” LLVM 13.0.0 (Rust was merging the “release candidate” versions to be able to get a head start on testing) was pulled in shortly after you posted this, so it may be a good idea to try today’s rustc.

Sure! It doesn’t say that much unfortunately.
