Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW Last reconfirmed| |2016-01-24 CC| |msebor at gcc dot gnu.org Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> --- With -mcpu=power7 and later, gcc emits the following optimal code for the test case. With -mcpu=power6 and prior, I can confirm that the does look suboptimal. In light of the -power7 output and the fact that this has been open for 10 years with no activity, should the bug be closed as WONTFIX? $ /build/gcc-trunk/gcc/xgcc -B /build/gcc-trunk/gcc -Wall -Wextra -O2 -maltivec -O2 -mabi=altivec -m64 -S -o/dev/stdout -mcpu=power7 t.c .file "t.c" .machine power7 .section ".toc","aw" .section ".text" .align 2 .p2align 4,,15 .globl f .section ".opd","aw" .align 3 f: .quad .L.f,.TOC.@tocbase,0 .previous .type f, @function .L.f: xvdivsp 34,34,35 blr .long 0 .byte 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 .size f,.-.L.f .ident "GCC: (GNU) 6.0.0 20160119 (experimental)" -mcpu=power6 code: $ /build/gcc-trunk/gcc/xgcc -B /build/gcc-trunk/gcc -Wall -Wextra -O2 -O2 -maltivec -O2 -mabi=altivec -m64 -S -o/dev/stdout -mcpu=power6 t.c .file "t.c" .machine power6 .abiversion 2 .section ".toc","aw" .section ".text" .align 2 .p2align 4,,15 .globl f .type f, @function f: addi 10,1,-176 li 9,32 stvx 2,10,9 li 9,48 stvx 3,10,9 li 9,64 stvx 2,10,9 li 9,80 stvx 3,10,9 li 9,96 stvx 2,10,9 li 9,112 stvx 3,10,9 li 9,128 stvx 2,10,9 li 9,144 stvx 3,10,9 li 9,160 lfs 0,-128(1) lfs 10,-144(1) fdivs 10,10,0 lfs 11,-108(1) lfs 0,-92(1) fdivs 11,11,0 lfs 12,-72(1) lfs 0,-56(1) fdivs 12,12,0 lfs 9,-20(1) lfs 0,-36(1) fdivs 0,0,9 stfs 10,-16(1) stfs 11,-12(1) stfs 12,-8(1) stfs 0,-4(1) lvx 2,10,9 blr .long 0 .byte 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 .size f,.-f .ident "GCC: (GNU) 6.0.0 20160121 (experimental)" .section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits
