Bug ID: 101985
Summary: vec_cpsgn parameter order
Product: gcc
Version: 11.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: simb611alt at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
I have found an issue where the parameter order of the vec_cpsgn function on
POWER is reversed. Clang has recently fixed the same issue in their code which
leaves only GCC using the reversed order.
XLC always used the order clang currently uses.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <altivec.h>
int main() {
vector float a = { 1, 2, - 3, - 4};
vector float b = {-10, 20, -30, 40};
a = vec_cpsgn(a, b);
printf("%f %f %f %f\n", a[0], a[1], a[2], a[3]);
return 0;
}
