Bug ID: 69493
Summary: Poor code generation for return of struct containing
vectors on PPC64LE
Product: gcc
Version: 6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: wschmidt at gcc dot gnu.org
CC: dje at gcc dot gnu.org, munroesj at us dot ibm.com
Target Milestone: ---
Target: powerpc64le-*-linux*
For this simple test using the ELFv2 ABI, we generate code that correctly
returns the structures in v2 and v3 (vs34 and vs35). However, there is an
unnecessary store and reload of the vectors prior to the return, which will
perform extremely poorly on POWER processors.
typedef struct
{
__vector double vx0;
__vector double vx1;
} vdoublex4_t;
vdoublex4_t
test_big_double (long double a, long double b)
{
vdoublex4_t result;
/* return a 0.0 */
result.vx0[0] = __builtin_unpack_longdouble (a, 0);
result.vx0[1] = __builtin_unpack_longdouble (a, 1);
result.vx1[0] = __builtin_unpack_longdouble (b, 0);
result.vx1[1] = __builtin_unpack_longdouble (b, 1);
return (result);
}
