Hello,

I am using olimex lpc-p2138(LPC2138) dev board with yagarto tools.
I have a function with variable length params(like sprintf) and have 
just found out how to get rid of 'random parameters'(upper dword is 
random) getting into my function, when passing 64bit integers as 
parameters(no problems with fixed length params or 32bit integers). If 
stack pointer is aligned to 8 bytes everything works as expected, but 
doesn't work with for example 4 byte alignment. Why is that? Is it the 
same as with 32bit integer loading from unaligned addresses? If it is, 
could you please tell which instruction causes this, so I can see the 
reason in documentation.

My test code:

1

volatile int64_t  gSum = 0;

2

void  out(int64_t a, ...)

3

{

4

  va_list l;

5

  va_start(l, a);

6

  a += va_arg(l, int64_t); // i think here it takes

7

  va_end(l);

8

9

  gSum = a;

10

}

11

12

int  main (void)

13

{

14

  InitPLL();

15

  uart0_init(UART_BAUD(115200));

16

17

  for(;;)

18

  {

19

    while(!uart0_can_read());

20

    uart0_clean();

21

22

    out((int64_t)5, (int64_t)12);

23

24

    char  buf[32] = {0};

25

    buf[itoa_ll(gSum, buf, 32)] = '\n';

26

    uart0_write_s(buf);

27

28

  }

29

30

  return 0;

31

}

Thanks.
