Hi Andrew. Thanks for all your work. The more I look at this, the more it feels like it might be a problem on the LLVM side instead of Rust. I also found some more tests (all related to numbers btw) which can cause different types of exceptions, so I think I will try filing bugs upstream.

Yours Sincerely,

Ayush Singh

So the faulting function is getting passed a bad pointer as its 1st arg.

 RCX - FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

So yea that looks like the fault. 

I don’t see that pattern in your .s file…. 

Can you figure out what function is @ 0x140001b60 in the PE/COFF image. Do you have a map file from the linker?

Thanks,

Andrew Fish

PS Again sorry I don’t have anything installed to crack PDB files.

Ayush,

CR2 is the fault address so 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Given for EFI Virt == Physical the fault address looks like a bad pointer. 

Sorry I’ve not used VC++ in a long time so I don’t know how to debug with VC++, but If I was using clang/lldb I’d look at the source and assembly for the fault address. 

The image base is: 0x000000000603C000
The fault PC/RIP is: 000000000603DB60

So the faulting code is at 0x1B60 in the image. Given the images are linked at zero you should be able to load the build product into the debugger and look at what code is at offset 0x1B60. The same should work for any tools that dump the binary. 

Thanks,

Hello everyone.While running Rust tests in UEFI environment, I have come across a numeric test that causes a pagefault. A simple reproducible example for this is given below:

```rust

    let z: i128 = b(1);
    assert!((-z as f64) < 0.0);

From my testing, the exception only occurs when a few conditions are met.

1. The binary is compiled in Debug mode. No error in Release mode.

2. `i128` is in a black_box [1]. Does not occur if `black_box` is not present.

3. It has to be `i128`. `i64` or something else work fine.

4. The cast has to be done on `-z`. Doing the same with `+z` is fine.


I have also been discussing this in the Rust zulipchat [2], so feel free to chime in there.
