[Mono-dev] Parameter on the stack overlap

[Zhanxing Ding]

Hi all,

Now I am porting mono to aix,
I met a problem that is,
When convert from decimal to flaot, I found the parameter d of the mono_decimal_to_float (d=...)
function overlapped, so I can't get the correct content of the parameter.

Prologue of the function:

mono_decimal_to_float (d=...) at decimal-ms.c:2369(which is an Internal Call)
2369    {
=> 0x1021925c <mono_decimal_to_float+0>:        7c 08 02 a6     mflr    r0
   0x10219260 <mono_decimal_to_float+4>:        90 01 00 08     stw     r0,8(r1)
   0x10219264 <mono_decimal_to_float+8>:        93 e1 ff fc     stw     r31,-4(r1)
   0x10219268 <mono_decimal_to_float+12>:       94 21 ff a0     stwu    r1,-96(r1)
   0x1021926c <mono_decimal_to_float+16>:       7c 3f 0b 78     mr      r31,r1
   0x10219270 <mono_decimal_to_float+20>:       90 7f 00 78     stw     r3,120(r31)
   0x10219274 <mono_decimal_to_float+24>:       90 9f 00 7c     stw     r4,124(r31)
   0x10219278 <mono_decimal_to_float+28>:       90 bf 00 80     stw     r5,128(r31)
   0x1021927c <mono_decimal_to_float+32>:       90 df 00 84     stw     r6,132(r31)

Parameter d is the MonoDecimal structure,
The address is 0x2ff22700, but when run the instruction stw     r3,120(r31), one filed of  0x2ff22700  populated with
The value 0x2ff22700.

(gdb) info reg r31
r31            0x2ff22690       804398736

Anyone know why this happened?
Why it save the parameter where will overlap the value?

Thank you in advance!
