What did you do?

Cross build for Windows from a Linux machine. amd64 build works as expected running on both amd64 or arm64 machine.

arm64 version crashes with a runtime exception.

package main

import (
        "log"
        "math"
        "syscall"
        "time"
        "unsafe"

        "golang.org/x/sys/windows"
)

var (
        modoleaut32 = windows.NewLazySystemDLL("oleaut32.dll")

        procVariantTimeToSystemTime = modoleaut32.NewProc("VariantTimeToSystemTime")
)

func main() {
        t, err := GetVariantDate(45000.0)
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatal(err)
        }

        log.Printf("time = %v", t)
}

func GetVariantDate(value float64) (time.Time, error) {
        var st syscall.Systemtime

        r, _, err := procVariantTimeToSystemTime.Call(
                uintptr(math.Float64bits(value)),
                uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&st)),
        )
        if r == 0 {
                return time.Time{}, err
        }

        return time.Date(
                int(st.Year),
                time.Month(st.Month),
                int(st.Day),
                int(st.Hour),
                int(st.Minute),
                int(st.Second),
                int(st.Milliseconds/1000),
                time.UTC,

It looks like windows/arm64 doesn't set float parameters into the dedicated floating point registers, which produces an exception down the line.

For example, here is where the first cgo parameter is set:

go/src/runtime/sys_windows_arm64.s

Line 83 in 905b58b

MOVD (0*8)(R12), R0

But it should be something like this:

MOVD	(0*8)(R12), R0
FMOVD    R0, F0

Unfortunately, the fix is not that easy. AArch64 calling convention allocates registers for integers and floating points independently. I.e., in VariantTimeToSystemTime(arg0 float64, arg1 uintptr), arg0 will be stored in V0 and arg1 will be stored in R0, not in R1. This means that one needs to know the value class for each parameter in order to convert from Go calling convention to AArch64.

I wonder how is this implemented in other arm64 OSes. @golang/compiler

qmuntal · 2023-09-12T12:22:03Z

Also, worth noting that TestFloatArgs is skipped on windows/arm64:

go/src/runtime/syscall_windows_test.go

Lines 824 to 830 in 905b58b

    
           func TestFloatArgs(t *testing.T) { 
        
           	if _, err := exec.LookPath("gcc"); err != nil { 
        
           		t.Skip("skipping test: gcc is missing") 
        
           	} 
        
           	if runtime.GOARCH != "amd64" { 
        
           		t.Skipf("skipping test: GOARCH=%s", runtime.GOARCH) 
        
           	}

Related to #6510.

cherrymui · 2023-09-12T15:56:02Z

@qmuntal on other platforms we generally assume syscalls don't take floating point arguments. syscall.Syscall certainly assumes so. In the case that we do need floating point argument, it has a special code path, e.g. https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/master:src/runtime/sys_darwin.go;l=105 , which we call a macOS system function with a floating point arg. It has a different signature, and different assembly implementations.

cherrymui · 2023-09-12T15:58:07Z

If floating point args are a general case for Windows syscalls, we probably need some other mechanism beyond syscall.Syscall. Maybe syscall.SyscallFP1, syscall.SyscallFP2, etc. for syscalls with 1, 2, ... FP args...

mauri870 · 2023-09-12T17:44:17Z

@cherrymui Since we have syscall.SyscallN can't we have syscall.SyscallFPN instead so it is future proof?

cherrymui · 2023-09-12T17:47:10Z

I don't think we can have two variadic args, one for integer and one for floats. If there is a way to write such a variadic function and implement it, I'd be totally fine.

qmuntal · 2023-09-12T18:16:09Z

Hmm, what about this API which accept a mix of integer and floating point arguments:

// SyscallFPN is like SyscallN but for functions that accept floating point arguments.
// To flag an argument as floating point, set the corresponding bit in the floats bitmask.
// If floats is 1, all arguments are assumed to be floating point.
//
// For example, if the second and third argument are floating points, use
//
//	syscall.SyscallFPN(trap, 1<<2|1<<3, a0, uintptr(math.Float64bits(a1)), uintptr(math.Float64bits(a2)), a3)
func SyscallFPN(trap uintptr, floats byte, args ...uintptr) (r1, r2 uintptr, err Errno)

aclements · 2023-09-12T19:42:03Z

Related issue, but for Windows C APIs calling back to Go: #45300

I'd be much more comfortable with a typed API, perhaps something along the lines of:

// Get assigns this Proc as a Go function to *f. f must be a pointer to a func-typed variable.
// f's arguments may have type uintptr or float64 and it may have up to two results,
// each of type uintptr or float64. (I made up these constraints, but something like that.)
func (p *Proc) Get(f any) error

This is essentially the inverse of how syscall.NewCallback works. I haven't thought through how this would be implemented. It would probably be tricky, and look something like a cross between NewCallback and reflect.makeMethodValue.

In general, I quite dislike the Windows syscall.Syscall* functions because they're just not a good match for how things work on Windows, especially with the way they overload the "trap" argument as a function PC. I'd rather not go even deeper down the rabbit hole of these functions if we can avoid it.
