Take the following code:
#include <math.h>
float foo(float f, float x, float y) {
return (fabs(f)*x+y);
}
on PPC, we should be able to produce:
fabs f1,f1
fmadds f1,f1,f2,f3
blr
But right now we produce:
fabs f1,f1
fmadd f1,f1,f2,f3
frsp f1,f1
blr
This is because we don't remove promotions we should be able to remove.
If we do:
#include <math.h>
float foo(float f, float x, float y) {
return (fabs(f)*x);
}
The promotions are removed.
--
Summary: promotions (from float to double) are not removed when
they should be able to
