--- Comment #20 from Segher Boessenkool <segher at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I currently get (on BE; the testcase forces -mcpu=power8): std 3,-16(1) addi 9,1,-12 lxsiwzx 32,0,9 #APP # 10 "vsx-simode2.c" 1 xxlor 32,32,32 # v, v constraints # 0 "" 2 #NO_APP mfvsrwz 3,32 blr so yes this test _should_ fail, we do the wrong thing. NO_REGS is chosen for this reg class, no vector class is considered.
