Bug #: 54408 Summary: sqrt for vector types Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: 4.8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: other AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: gli...@gcc.gnu.org Hello, it would be nice to add sqrt to the gcc vector extensions. There are already target specific builtins, but a generic one would fit better (and get lowered to elementwise sqrt when the target doesn't support vector sqrt). I don't know if __builtin_sqrt should be extended, or maybe a different __builtin_vec_sqrt. Component "other" because fixing this might involve front, middle and back-ends.
