Bug ID: 95777
Summary: Allow specifying more than one target options at the
same time in target and target_clones attribute
Product: gcc
Version: 10.1.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: yyc1992 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Currently it seems that (document and own tests) only a single option is
allowed for each version of the function using `target` and `target_clones`.
This can be a problem for options that are not strict subset of each other
(e.g. the AVX512 ones IIUC). Of course specifying `cpu=haswell` and
`cpu=skylake` for the same target doesn't make much sense so some checking
should be in place but I believe allowing multiple directly testable features
to be specified at the same time should be allowed.
A related issue is that while one can indeed do some of these by specifying a
`arch=<cpu>`. However, even if the runtime CPU supports all the features it'll
still not get selected if the name doesn't exactly match (tested with
`arch=haswell` on my kabelake laptop). If a fallback could be implemented to
make this work that will be also good enough for me at least...
