             Bug #: 14222
           Summary: insufficient stack alignment
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: tdep
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: jan.kratochvil@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified
            Target: i386-unknown-linux-gnu


GCC since 4.6 keeps stack aligned to 32 bytes (128 bits).

AFAIK there is neither Intel CPUs nor glibc requirement for it, 16 bytes
alignment would be sufficient.

amd64-tdep.c already keeps 16 byte alignment but i386-tdep.c does not.
Proposing to increase alignment of both to 32 bytes in all cases.

This is KFAIL tracker for: gdb.arch/i386-sse-stack-align.exp
