Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |amodra at gmail dot com --- Comment #3 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> --- powerpc64le is still PIC by default. If you see non-PIC in executables it is likely due to ld editing code. The blas source looks to be adding r2 (and r0) to the clobbers completely unnecessarily. I suspect what the author of that code was trying to do was say that i and n are changed by the asm, which is done by making them output args as well as input. The memory clobber could be removed too, if *x1 was made an output. Oh, and the asm misses clobbers for all the vector regs used..
