Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #4 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- .word in ARM assembly is 32-bit, so it is not wrong. 64-bit values need to be put into two hw registers, and there is not a single instruction to put 0x886b6600 into a 32-bit register, but there is a single instruction to put 0xfffffff1 into a 32-bit register, so the code loads one part from the constant pool and the other part uses mvn instruction (move negated) with a small immediate.
