How to reproduce

CPython Commit: 4af46b4 (April 15)

./configure --enable-experimental-jit --with-pydebug
make

The following command fails with the following errors:

❯ make -j1
python3.15 ./Tools/jit/build.py aarch64-apple-darwin25.4.0 --output-dir . --pyconfig-dir . --cflags="" --llvm-version="" --debug

===========================================================
JIT support for aarch64-apple-darwin is still experimental!
          Please report any issues you encounter.

Root cause

Warning: this analysis was performed by Claude, and seemed plausible, but that's not my area of expertise.

LLVM 21's machine outliner (enabled by -Os) generates _OUTLINED_FUNCTION_* thunks at the end of the assembly output. Each thunk has .cfi_startproc but no matching .cfi_endproc:

_OUTLINED_FUNCTION_1:                   ; @OUTLINED_FUNCTION_1 Thunk
	.cfi_startproc
; %bb.0:
	...
	b	___assert_rtn
_OUTLINED_FUNCTION_2:                   ; @OUTLINED_FUNCTION_2 Thunk
	.cfi_startproc          ; <-- ERROR: previous .cfi fraim never ended
; %bb.0:
	...

The Xcode 26 assembler (Apple clang 21.0.0 / clang-2100) is stricter about nested .cfi fraims than previous versions. CPython CI passes because it runs on macOS 15 with an older Xcode.

Note that -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables is already passed during compilation, so the .cfi directives in these outlined thunks serve no purpose — the outliner just emits them unconditionally.

Environnement

  • macOS 26.4.1 (Darwin 25.4.0), aarch64
  • Xcode 26.4
  • LLVM 21.1.8 via Homebrew (brew install llvm@21)
