DMB was added in ARMv7, build is broken like this (sorry, no proper output handy): /tmp/ccXgxs8q.s:4813: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `dmb sy' tomeu`: jbrianceau: regarding http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/159571 , I noticed that the implementation of memoryFence() fails to build on armv6 because dmb isn't available tomeu`: is that intentional? jbrianceau: tomeu`: no, not intentional jbrianceau: tomeu`: I didn't notice that because I have an armv7 target without thumb2 instruction set support jbrianceau: tomeu`: but if it fails to build, it should comes from LLINT and not http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/159571 tomeu`: jbrianceau: ok, I was getting /tmp/ccXgxs8q.s:4813: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `dmb sy' and git log -Sdmb pointed to that commit jbrianceau: tomeu`: actually this commit would lead to runtime issues, not build jbrianceau: tomeu`: and your build issue should come from jbrianceau: tomeu`: this one : http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/159545 jbrianceau: tomeu`: if you remove "$asm.puts "dmb sy"" from arm.rb file, it will build (but you'll have issues at runtime because of r159571) tomeu`: jbrianceau: ok, I know close to nothing about ARM assembler, but I have been told that on ARMv6 that can safely be a nop or at most a mcr? jbrianceau: tomeu`: ok. If a nop is fine, then you might want to replace "dmb sy" by "nop" in arm.rb file, and also jbrianceau: tomeu`: replace m_assembler.dmbSY() by m_assembler.nop() in MacroAssemblerARM.h file jbrianceau: tomeu`: it should build and run properly if what you've been told is ok :) tomeu`: jbrianceau: oh, I solved my particular issue by rebasing my branch before the commit that introduced the fence :) tomeu`: was just saying for the future tomeu`: will open a bug with our conversation jbrianceau: tomeu`: allright
