Bug ID: 68609
Summary: PowerPC reciprocal estimate missed opportunities
Product: gcc
Version: 6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: anton at samba dot org
Target Milestone: ---
gcc.target/i386/recip-sqrtf.c shows some missed opportunities for the
reciprocal estimate instructions. One example:
float t3(float a)
{
return sqrtf(a);
}
On x86 (and PowerPC clang), we use the square root reciprocal estimate
instructions, but PowerPC gcc does not.
