== Progress ==
* Discussed big-endian patches for vext tests: careful review of the
specification is required and this patch might actually expose GCC
bugs in big-endian/Neon.
* builtin_bswap16:
* Posted 2 implementations of the generic patch for
(x<<8)|(x>>8). The 2nd one looks OK, but I was asked to make some
checks on powerPC, which are on-going.
* backporting it to Linaro/4.7. On-going: merged obvious patches but
one test does not produce the same code as on trunk.
* validations in cbuild in with GCC configured for thumb and hard FP
showed that some bswap16 tests fail because they force armv6,
which leads to unsupported thumb1 configuration. Proposed
testsuite modification to make this easier, under discussion with
Matt & Richard.
== Next ==
* builtin_bswap16:
* check powerPC results and have the patch accepted upstream.
* measure probable regression in libav when using the builtin
instead of an asm().
* complete backport in Linaro/4.7.
* PGO/hot-cold partitioning: start working on this blueprint.
