align&&balignl代码对齐测试

align&&balignl代码对齐测试

学习uboot代码时，发现启动代码中有.balignl 16,0xdeadbeef对齐，对于某些编译器来说，可能并不会代码对齐，所以需要进行手动对齐，否则就会出现编译报错。

举例说明（以下代码并无实际含义）

.globl _start

_start:
    b reset
    nop
    .byte 0xff

reset:
    ldr r0,=0x40000000

直接编译报错

book@book-virtual-machine:/work/test$ arm-S3C6410-linux-gnueabi-gcc -c arm.S -o arm.o
arm.S: Assembler messages:
arm.S:4: Error: misaligned branch destination

添加align对齐代码后编译

.globl _start

_start:
    b reset
    nop
    .byte 0xff

    .align
reset:
    ldr r0,=0x40000000

book@book-virtual-machine:/work/test$ arm-S3C6410-linux-gnueabi-gcc -c arm.S -o arm.o
book@book-virtual-machine:/work/test$ arm-S3C6410-linux-gnueabi-objdump -D arm.o > arm.elf

  14:   Address 0x0000000000000014 is out of bounds.

使用另一种对齐方式balignl

.globl _start

_start:
    b reset
    nop
    .byte 0xff

    .balignl 16,0xdeadbeef
reset:
    ldr r0,=0x40000000

出现编译报错，需要将.byte 0xff移除。

修改后编译，查看反汇编编译指令按照16字节对齐。
