r135290 | irar | 2008-05-14 12:28:53 +0000 (Wed, 14 May 2008) causes the following test failures on powerpc64-linux with both -m32 and -m64: FAIL: gcc.dg/vect/vect-strided-a-u8-i8-gap2.c (internal compiler error) FAIL: gcc.dg/vect/vect-strided-u8-i8-gap2.c (internal compiler error) FAIL: gcc.dg/vect/vect-strided-u8-i8-gap4.c execution test There are additional failures reported for the first two but those are because the ICE prevents other checks from happening. The ICE message from last night's build is: /home/gccbuild/gcc_trunk_anonsvn/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/vect/vect-strided-a-u8-i8-gap2.c: In function 'main1': /home/gccbuild/gcc_trunk_anonsvn/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/vect/vect-strided-a-u8-i8-gap2.c:22: internal compiler error: in vect_get_vec_def_for_operand, at tree-vect-transform.c:1924 -- Summary: ICE or wrong code in vector-strided gap tests Product: gcc Version: 4.4.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: tree-optimization AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: janis at gcc dot gnu dot org GCC target triplet: powerpc*-*-linux* http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36293
